The transport layer hides the beculiarities of the network being used from the layers above.

In the case of a packet switched network the following would be hidden,

  1. Limitations of packet size (by segmenting and concaternation - see below)
  2. limitations of throughput (by multiplexing or splitting)
  3. Loss of data caused by network resets and clears

Class 1 yes no no
Class 2 no yes no

Class 4 yes yes yes

Transport layer classes

Class 0 - Simple class

Class 1 - Basic error recovery class

Class 2 - Multiplexing class

Class 3 - Error recovery and multiplexing class

Class 4 - Error detection and recovery class

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Class 0 - Simple class

  1. Minimum facility
  2. Fully compatible with S.70 Teletex terminals
  3. For use over type A network connections
  4. Only functions for establishment, data transfer with segmenting and error reporting are available.
  5. NO multiplexing, disconnection(closed user network connection cleared), flow control, error recovery, expedited data transfer, user dateline during connection.
  6. Only address and TPDU size parameters are allowed.

Class 1 - Basic error recovery class

Class 2 - Multiplexing class

Class 3 - Error Recovery and multiplexing class

Class 4 - Error detection and recovery class

Where:

TPDU = Transport Protocol data unit

LI = Length indicator (1 byte) = Header length (fixed + variable part)

CDT = Credit Allocation (0 in Classes 0 + 1)

TSAP-ID = Transport service access point identifier

DST-REF = Destination reference - reference identifying the transport connection at the remote transport entity

SRC-REF = Source reference - Reference selected by the transport entity initiating to identify the requested transport connection

EOT = End of TSDU mark

TPDU-NR = Data TPDU number

ED-TPDU-NR = Expidited TPDU number

YR-TU-NR = Sequence number response (indicating the next expected TPDU)

YR-EDTU-NR = Expidited TPDU number response

slide tran 6 - Functions within the transport layer

  1. mapping transport-address onto network-address;
  2. multiplexing (end-to-end) transport-connections onto network-connections;
  3. establishment and release of transport-connections;
  4. end to end sequence control on individual connections;
  5. end-to-end error detection and any necessary monitoring of the quality of service;
  6. end-to-end error recovery;
  7. end-to-end segmenting, blocking and concatenation;
  8. end-to-end flow control on individual connections;
  9. supervisory functions;
  10. expidited transport-service-data-unit transfer.
