Abstract

The end-to-end protocol of the Transport Layer enhances the data transmission quality of the Network Service to a level satisfactory for use by the upper three OSI layers. Transport Services support the protocol of the Session Layer, which provides a wide variety of dialogue and synchronization control services for use by the upper two OSI layers. A basic knowledge of the Transport and Session Layers is fundamental to understanding OSI.
