Which of the following functionalities are associated with the Transport Layer in the OSI model?
Correct answer: D. all of the above
- A. breaking data into segments
- B. end to end logical connection
- C. error handling
- D. all of the above
Explanation
All the listed options (A), (B), (C), and (D) are functionalities of the Transport Layer in the OSI model.The Transport Layer establishes a logical connection between applications running on different devices, ensuring end-to-end communication. It segments large data streams into manageable packets for efficient transmission. The Transport Layer incorporates error detection and correction mechanisms to ensure reliable data delivery. In essence, the Transport Layer bridges the gap between applications and the network layer, providing reliable data transfer services.
