The transport layer defines the characteristics of end-to-end communication, ensuring data integrity, managing source and destination ports, and reassembling data packets at the destination.
The two most common protocols in this layer are Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), which provides reliable, connection-oriented communication, and User Datagram Protocol (UDP), which offers connectionless communication with a focus on speed.
The transport layer as the name suggests transports the data packets from one end to another in a reliable manner. The two most common protocols in this layer are TCP & UDP respectively. TCP i.e. transmission control protocol ensures an end-to-end connection whereas UDP focuses on delivery speed.
