Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the primary function of the Transport Layer in the OSI model?
  • Step 1: Understand that the OSI model has 7 layers, and the Transport Layer is the 4th layer.
  • Step 2: Know that the main job of the Transport Layer is to help different applications communicate over a network.
  • Step 3: Learn that the Transport Layer establishes connections between applications, which means it sets up a way for them to talk to each other.
  • Step 4: Recognize that the Transport Layer manages these connections, ensuring that data is sent and received correctly.
  • Step 5: Finally, understand that the Transport Layer also terminates connections when they are no longer needed, closing the communication link.
