The data link layer handles communication between systems on the same local network. The network layer handles communication between systems on different local networks and allows those packets to be routed between the two.
The data link layer would allow two machine on network a to talk to each other or two machines on network b to talk to each other. This communication takes place using the physical/MAC addresses of the machines.
The network layer is what allows a machine on network a to talk to a machine on network b using logical address like IP addresses.
data link layer provides physical addressing which can be use within a single lan only
while network layer provides logial(IP) addressing which can be used globally
The transport layer brings you there, the link layer only tells you where to find it :3
The difference between datalink layer flow control and transport layer flow control is the need to keep the different layers of data separate in the flow control option.
In order to tell the difference between different data segments the transport layer assigns an identifier to an application. The TCP/IP protocols call this identifier a port number. Each software process that needs to access the network is assigned a port number unique to that host. This port number is used in the transport layer header to indicate to which application that piece of data is associated. Hope this helps!!!

Data link error control checks for error in each router and end-system, but transport layer error control checks for error only at the end-systems.

Segmentation of data happens at transport layer. Because transport layer is responsible for successful transportation of data through out the network.
transport layer
A PDU (Protocol Data Unit) is defined by which layer it is in. In the physical layer and network layer, it is synonymous with the packet, in the data link layer, it is the frame. In the transport layer, it is a datagram for UDP. A datagram holds one or more PDU's, as it is the basic unit of transferring information via packet switching.
Layer 2 - The Data Link Layer Layer 2 of the OSI model provides error-detection capability
The transport layer in an OSI model is the layer that moves information or data between the network layer and the session layer. The Open Systems Interconnection model is a way of visualizing the processes that happen in communication and networking.
Transport layer is the fourth layer in the OSI model. Transport layer is responsible for process to process delivery of entire message. Other than that it also control connection, flow of data and error , thus will resend the packet if it get lost in between.
