Transport and Internet Layer Protocols Now that we have discussed the lower-level protocols (not including wireless, which we briefly cover at the end of the chapter, and more in-depth in Chapter 5), ...

The two most common transport layer protocols are the transmission control protocol (TCP) and the user datagram protocol (UDP). One of the main differences between the two protocols is reliability.

I like to think of the transport layer as the layer of the OSI Model that enables more interesting traffic. While we network engineers may love a lot of the simpler uses of the IP protocol and ...

The central transport layer contains two protocols and the network layer contains only one, creating an hourglass architecture.

Engineer's perspective: TCP is at Layer 4, IP is at Layer 3, VLAN is at Layer 2—layered thinking is the first step in ...

Faster yet less-secure protocol UDP is a transport layer protocol responsible for transporting data packets across network systems that are communicating using application layer protocols.

As the Fat Protocol thesis posits, value in blockchains would mostly accumulate at the base protocol layer rather than the application layer. For a while, this seemed to be true.

NSA released the Cybersecurity Information Sheet, “Avoid Dangers of Wildcard TLS Certificates and the ALPACA Technique” today, warning network administrators about the risks of using poorly scoped ...
