Question

explain the transport layer and the two protocols that it contains TCP and UDP. can someone help me find a way to explain this in a simple to.understand short manner like a paragraph or so?

`Hey,

Note: Brother in case of any queries, just comment in box I would be very happy to assist all your queries

In computer networking, the transport layer is a conceptual division of methods in the layered architecture of protocols in the network stack in the Internet protocol suite and the OSI model. The protocols of this layer provide host-to-host communication services for applications. It provides services such as connection-oriented communication, reliability, flow control, and multiplexing.

UDP

• UDP stands for User Datagram Protocol.
• UDP is a simple protocol and it provides nonsequenced transport functionality.
• UDP is a connectionless protocol.
• This type of protocol is used when reliability and security are less important than speed and size.
• UDP is an end-to-end transport level protocol that adds transport-level addresses, checksum error control, and length information to the data from the upper layer.
• The packet produced by the UDP protocol is known as a user datagram.

TCP

• TCP stands for Transmission Control Protocol.
• It provides full transport layer services to applications.
• It is a connection-oriented protocol means the connection established between both the ends of the transmission. For creating the connection, TCP generates a virtual circuit between sender and receiver for the duration of a transmission.

Kindly revert for any queries

Thanks.
