2.3 TCP
Transport Control Protocol: Traditional Transport Control Protocols, Transport Protocol Design Issues, WSN Middleware Architecture The transport layer in a network is responsible for end-to-end segment transportation, where messages are broken down into segments at the source and reassembled at the destination. It doesn't concern itself with the underlying delivery protocols or mechanisms. Two commonly used transport layer protocols are the Transport Control Protocol (TCP) and the User Datagram Protocol (UDP). TCP is a connection-oriented protocol, meaning it operates in three main phases: Connection Establishment: The sender initiates a request to establish a connection with the destination. If the destination is available and a path exists between the source and destination, a logical link is established between them. Data Transmission: Once the connection is established, data transmission begins. During this phase, the rate of transmission may be adjusted based on network con...
