Transport Layer

The Transport Layer is a part of the networking framework that manages how data is transmitted between devices over a network. It ensures that data sent from one computer reaches another accurately and in the right order. Think of it like a postal service that organizes packages, ensuring they are delivered correctly and intact. Key protocols used in this layer include TCP, which guarantees delivery and order, and UDP, which is faster but doesn't ensure reliability. Overall, the Transport Layer plays a crucial role in maintaining effective communication across networks.
