Service point addressing, segmentation and reassembly, connection control etc., are the responsibility of which of the following layers? Correct Answer Transport Layer

The correct option is 1) Transport Layer

Concept:-

Transport Layer:-

This layer is responsible for the overall end-to-end validity and integrity of the transmission i.e., it ensures that data is successfully sent and received between two computers. Specifically, it provides a network-independent, reliable message-independent, reliable message-interchange service to the top three application-oriented layers.

Key Points

  • Transport Layer acts as an interface between the bottom and top three layers.
  • The Transport layer in the Open System Interconnection (OSI) model is responsible for end-to-end delivery over a network.
  • The Transport layer controls the reliability of a given link through flow control, segmentation and desegmentation, and error control.
  • If data is sent incorrectly, this layer has the responsibility of asking for retransmission of the data.

Additional InformationNetwork layer:- The network layer establishes the route between the sending and receiving stations. The unit of data at the network layer is called a packet. It provides network routing and flow and congestion functions across the computer-network interfaces.

Session layer:- The session layer decides when to turn communication on and off between two computers. It provides the mechanism that controls the data-exchange process and coordinates the interaction between them in an orderly manner.

Presentation Layer:- The presentation layer performs code conversion and data reformatting. It is the translator of the network; it makes sure the data is in the correct form for the receiving application.
