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.

Part 1 of this article looks at low-level communications protocols, including PPP and Ethernet, and their specific security features and requirements.] Now that we have discussed the lower-level ...

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 ...

Do you remember when we used multi-protocol routing for IPX, AppleTalk, and TCP/IP running on the same network? In the 1980s and early 1990s many enterprises had multiple protocols running on the ...

In the past we considered transport protocols such as RTP (Real-time Protocol), ABR (Adaptive Bit Rate), SDVoE (Software Defined Video over Ethernet), SRT (Secure Reliable Transport), QUIC (Quick ...

The Internet encryption protocol TLS – short for Transport Layer Security – is being fundamentally modified. Involved in attacks, researchers have contributed to revealing security gaps in the ...

From plain old transmission control protocol (TCP) to newly conceived protocols, the variety of methods for delivering video across the internet is a key area of interest for the entire streaming ...

Microsoft this week described QUIC, an Internet transport layer protocol alternative to the venerable Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), in an announcement. QUIC 1.0 is "less than 4 months old" but ...
