Transport Layer protocols provide a communications channel for data to be sent
|
||
|
|
between hosts. The Transport Layer is dependent upon the
|
||
|
|
[Internet Layer](Internet_Layer_of_Internet_Protocol.md) for addressing and
|
||
|

routing the data and the
|
||
|
|
[Link_Layer_of_Internet_Protocol](Link_Layer_of_Internet_Protocol.md) for
|
||
|
|
transferring the data to a specific host once it has reached the local network.
|

|
|
|
||
|
|
The protocol governing the Transport Layer is the **Transmission Control

|
A TCP **fragment** fits within an IP packet's data section, giving us the
