Chapter 3 Transport Layer last revised 160305.ppt

Chapter 3: Transport Layer last revised 16/03/05 Chapter goals: understand principles behind transport layer services: multiplexing/demultiplexing reliable data transfer flow control congestion control instantiation and implementation in the Internet Chapter Overview: transport layer services multiplexing/demultiplexing connectionless transport: UDP principles of reliable data transfer connection-oriented transport: TCP reliable transfer flow control connection management principles of congestion control TCP congestion control Chapter 3 outline 3.1 Transport-layer services 3.2 Multiplexing and demultiplexing 3.3 Connectionless transport: UDP 3.4 Principles of reliable data transfer 3.5 Connection-oriented transport: TCP segment structure reliable data transfer flow control connection management 3.6 Principles of congestion control 3.7 TCP congestion control Transport services and protocols provide logical communication between app processes running on different hosts transport protocols run in end systems send side: breaks app messages into segments, passes to network layer rcv side: reassembles segments into messages, passes to app layer more than one transport protocol available to apps Internet: TCP and UDP Transport vs. network layer network layer: logical communication between hosts transport layer: logical communication between processes relies on, enhances, network layer services Household analogy: 12 kids sending letters to 12 kids processes = kids app messages = letters in envelopes hosts = houses transport protocol = Ann and Bill network-layer protocol = postal service Transport-layer protocols Internet transport services: reliable, in-order unicast delivery (TCP) congestion flow control connection setup unreliable (“best-effort”), unordered unicast or multicast delivery: UDP services not available: real-time bandwidth guarantees reliable multicast Chapter 3 outline 3.1 Transport-layer services 3.2 Multiplexing and demultiplexing 3.3 Connectionles
