INTERACTION BETWEEN TRANSPORT LAYER AND NETWORK LAYER

Interaction between Transport Layer and Network Layer

Function of network layer and interaction with transport layer

Introduction

A heterogeneous network (predict the users in freedom of choice) exist out products from different suppliers of computers, hardware, software, periphery and/or network-products. An architectural model developed by the International Standards Organisation (ISO) is frequently used to describe the structure and function of data communication protocols. This architectural model, called the Open Systems Interconnect (OSI) Reference Model, contains seven layers that define the functions of data communications protocols. Each layer represents a function performed when data is transferred between co-operating applications ...
