The layer that is responsible for flow control and ensuring messages are delivered without error free is called
Correct answer: D. Transport
- A. Application
- B. Session
- C. Physical
- D. Transport
Explanation
The transport layer is responsible for ensuring reliable and error-free data delivery between applications on different hosts. It performs functions like:● Segmentation: Breaking down large data packets into smaller segments for efficient transmission.● Flow control: Regulating the data flow to prevent the sender from overwhelming the receiver's processing capacity.● Error detection and correction: Using mechanisms like checksums or sequence numbers to detect and rectify errors in data transmission.
