The transport layer. Page 123 from Jeffrey S Beasley's "Networking"
Segments
bits, frames, packets, segments
The server adds the source and destination IP addresses to the packet header. TCP------>Transmission control protocol is used in Transport layer which is the fourth layer.The Network layer is the third layer's data segments is converted into Packets in the network layer.In network layer packets are created and addressed them to transport across the other networks.
Session Layer traced lost Packets.
The Transport layer is responsible for taking a message that is too long and breaking it into smaller segments to send out. The reverse is also true, when the information is received the Transport layer is responsible for taking a series of short segments and putting them together again. Hope this helps.
At which layer lost packets are traced?
Layer 4 usually uses segments, layer 3 are packets, layer 2 are frames. Layer 4 uses either tcp (SYN and ACKS) and UDP (connectionless) with port numbers
The transport layer in the OSI model controls this information; the sending part of the transport breaks up the message into individual segments and the receiving transport layer reassembles the messages back into the original message. The first part of the transport is a negotiation sequence which determines the packet size and segment size between the networks, among other things.
Packet switching breaks the original data into smaller segments per packet before transmission. This is done in the layer 4 transport layer of the OSI model.
Network Layer ( 3 )
network layer
I think PDR= Packets Received / Packets Sent Packets sent/received values should be from same layer. i.e. all from application layer or network layer...etc
