Transport Layer Related Entries Web Links New/Updated Information Note: Many topics at this site are reduced versions of the text in "The Encyclopedia of Networking and Telecommunications." Search results will not be as extensive as a search of the book's CD-ROM. The transport layer is layer 4 in the OSI protocol stack. It resides above the physical, data link, and network layers and just below the session layer. It provides a messaging service for the session layer and hides the underlying network from the upper layers. Transport services in general are discussed in the next section, "Transport Protocols and Services." Copyright (c) 2001 Tom Sheldon and Big Sur Multimedia. |
