Transport layer, layer 4 Networking on z/OS |
|
|
Unlike layer 3, there are really only two protocols of note found in layer 4: Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and User Datagram Protocol (UDP). Returning to our postal mail protocol analogy, layer 3 is preoccupied with ensuring that the address on the envelope could be located and that the envelope could ultimately be delivered. Layer 4 shifts the focus to the process of the actual delivery of the envelope. |
