  2. Transport layer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_layer

    The protocols in use today in this layer for the Internet all originated in the development of TCP/IP. In the OSI model the transport layer is often referred to as Layer 4, or L4, [2] while numbered layers are not used in TCP/IP. The best-known transport protocol of the Internet protocol suite is the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP).

  3. Internet protocol suite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_protocol_suite

    The transport layer performs host-to-host communications on either the local network or remote networks separated by routers. [50] It provides a channel for the communication needs of applications. UDP is the basic transport layer protocol, providing an unreliable connectionless datagram service. The Transmission Control Protocol provides flow ...

  4. OSI model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OSI_model

    The Internet application layer maps to the OSI application layer, presentation layer, and most of the session layer. The TCP/IP transport layer maps to the graceful close function of the OSI session layer as well as the OSI transport layer. The internet layer performs functions as those in a subset of the OSI network layer.

  5. Port (computer networking) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_(computer_networking)

    Transport-layer protocols, such as the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and the User Datagram Protocol (UDP), transfer data using protocol data units (PDUs). For TCP, the PDU is a segment, and for UDP it is a datagram. Both protocols use a header field for indicating the source and destination port numbers.

  6. Data link layer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_link_layer

    This layer is the protocol layer that transfers data between nodes on a network segment across the physical layer. [2] The data link layer provides the functional and procedural means to transfer data between network entities and may also provide the means to detect and possibly correct errors that can occur in the physical layer.

  7. Modbus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modbus

    The ADU is officially called a Modbus frame by the Modbus Organization, [7] although frame is used as the data unit in the data-link layer in the OSI and TCP/IP model (while Modbus is an application layer protocol). PDU max size is 253 bytes. ADU max size on RS232/RS485 network is 256 bytes, and with TCP is 260 bytes. [8]

  8. Middleware - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middleware

    Software architecture: Middleware. The term is most commonly used for software that enables communication and management of data in distributed applications.An IETF workshop in 2000 defined middleware as "those services found above the transport (i.e. over TCP/IP) layer set of services but below the application environment" (i.e. below application-level APIs).

  9. Network address translation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_address_translation

    Application Layer Gateway (ALG) software or hardware may correct these problems. An ALG software module running on a NAT firewall device updates any payload data made invalid by address translation. ALGs need to understand the higher-layer protocol that they need to fix, and so each protocol with this problem requires a separate ALG.
