Data Transport Protocol

A Data Transport Protocol is like a set of rules that ensure data moves smoothly and accurately from one device to another over a network. It manages how data is packaged, sent, received, and checked for errors. Think of it as traffic rules for digital information—making sure messages arrive correctly and efficiently without collisions or misunderstandings. Common examples include TCP and UDP, which handle different needs for reliability and speed. Overall, it ensures that data transfer is organized, reliable, and secure between devices or systems.
