Chapter 8. Transport layer systems
Abstract:
The transport layer is responsible for providing connectivity between end-system applications. At the transport layer, traffic consists of connections between end-system processes. The flow 5-tuple uniquely identifies connections in the network. Network systems that operate at the transport layer need to be able to distinguish traffic by connections or connection aggregates. Flow 5-tuples consisting of fields from the network layer and transport layer headers are used to specify connections and connection aggregates. Flow classification and packet matching algorithms associate individual packets with connections and aggregates. This chapter presents algorithms and implementation techniques used by network ...
