Functions of Open Systems Interconnection (OSI)

The file connection layer in the OSI model, which is otherwise known as the transport layer has the following functions:

• It is used to provide a transparent transfer of data from one end user to another on the network.
• It also makes sure that the data transfer service is reliable when being delivered to the upper layers.
• It is mandated to control the reliability of a select link, and it does that using flow control, use of segments and checking errors in the connection.
• Another notable function of this layer is to provide acknowledgement whenever there is successful data transmission and continuous transmission of data in case no errors are reported.
