transport layer protocol

The transport layer protocol manages how data is sent between computers over a network, ensuring it arrives accurately and in order. It breaks data into manageable pieces, keeps track of these pieces, and handles retransmissions if any are lost or corrupted. It also manages multiple simultaneous connections, so different applications don’t interfere with each other. Think of it as a reliable delivery service that guarantees your messages arrive intact and in the right sequence, even if the journey faces delays or obstacles. Examples of such protocols are TCP (which is reliable) and UDP (which is faster but less strict).
