This layer provides backbone to data flow between two hosts.
This layer receives data from the application layer above it.
There are many protocols that work at this layer but the two most commonly used protocols at transport layer are TCP and UDP.
TCP is used where a reliable connection is required while UDP is used in case of unreliable connections.

4. Fundamentals Senthilkumar. R / 12/27/2016
TCP divides the data(coming from the application layer) into proper sized chunks and then passes these chunks onto the network.
It acknowledges received packets, waits for the acknowledgments of the packets it sent and sets timeout to resend the packets, if acknowledgements are not received in time.
The term ‘reliable connection’ is used where it is not desired to loose any information that is being transferred over the network through this connection.
So, the protocol used for this type of connection must provide the mechanism to achieve this desired characteristic.
For example, while downloading a file, it is not desired to loose any information(bytes) as it may lead to corruption of downloaded content.

5. Cont… Senthilkumar. R / 12/27/2016
UDP provides a comparatively simpler but unreliable service by sending packets from one host to another.
UDP does not take any extra measures to ensure that the data sent is received by the target host or not.
The term ‘unreliable connection’ are used where loss of some information does not hamper the task being fulfilled through this connection.
For example while streaming a video, loss of few bytes of information due to some reason is acceptable as this does not harm the user experience much.

6. Examples Senthilkumar. R / 12/27/2016
TCP – Web, Sending mail, Receiving mail etc…
UDP – Video Streaming, Online games etc…
TCP + UDP = SMTP (Example : mobile, telephone)

7. Real time examples Senthilkumar. R / 12/27/2016
TCP – is mailing a letter with a return receipt at the post office, except that the post master will organize the letters in-order-of mailing and only deliver them in-order.
UDP – is mailing a letter at the post office.

10. Advantages and Disadvantages of TCP
(1) TCP always guarantees three things - your data reaches its destination, it reaches there in time and it reaches    there without
duplication.
(2) In TCP, since all the work is done by the operating system, so you just need to sit back and watch the show. Even the debugging is
taken care of by your OS.
(3) It automatically breaks up data into packets for you.
(4) It is slower in functioning than UDP
DISADVANTAGES OF TCP
(1) Since, all the work is being done by your OS, so if there are bugs in your OS, then you will face many problems like problems in
surfing and downloading contents from the net.
(2) TCP cannot be used for broadcast and multicast connections.

11. Advantages and Disadvantages of UDP
(1) Broadcast and multicast connections are available with UDP which is not the case with TCP.
(2) It does not restrict you to connection based communication model
(3) Much faster than TCP
DISADVANTAGES OF UDP
(1)  There are no guarantees with UDP. It is possible that a packet may not be delivered, or delivered twice, or delivered not in
time.  
(2) We have to manually break the data into packets
