Datagrams TCP/IP layer 4 PDU's are called segments...
In networking, PDU means "protocol data unit", and it is the generic name of the "packets" of data used at different levels of the network. Using the numbering of the OSI layers: At layer 2, the PDUs are called "frame". Example: An Ethernet frame, a frame-relay frame. At layer 3, the PDUs are called "packets". Example: An IP packet. At layer 4, the PDUs are called "segments". Example: A TCP segment, a UDP segment.
TCP and UDP are transport layer protocols; the OSI layer is layer 4 (transport)
There is a good descrition of the network layer and TCP in the related link. NO. In general TCP and UDP are transport protocols that operates in Layer 4 Transport Layer
the main difference between UDP and TCP is that UDP is not a reliable protocol.
Application Layer
The TCP/IP model was adopted and condensed into 4 Layers.1. Link layer ( Layer 1and 2 of the OSI model)2. Internet Layer (Layer 3 of the OSI model)3. Transport ( Layer 4, 5 and 6 of the OSI model)4. Application ( Layer 7 of the OSI model)http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TCP/IP_model#Link_Layer
TCP port 23
TCP, the Transmission Control Protocol, is a layer-4 protocol (in the 7-layer OSI model).
tcp is the transport control protocol and ip is the internet protocol. tcp is concerned with guaranteed delivery of packets from source to destination, while ip is the protocol used to actually deliver packets. tcp is located at layer 4 of the osi model, or the transport layer. ip is located at layer 3 of the osi model, or the network layer. check out the video tutorials in the link below.
UDP or User Datagram Protocol works on the Transport Layer (layer 4) in the OSI model.
A datagram socket represents a connectionless, non-guaranteed communication protocol. It represents the UDP protocol in the TCP/IP suite.Contrast this with a stream socket, which represents a connection oriented, guaranteed, communication protocol. It represents the TCP protocol in the TCP/IP suite.UDP is the underlying protocol for TCP. If you are talking OSI model, UDP is layer 3, and TCP is layer 4.
