TCP and UDP are transport layer protocols; the OSI layer is layer 4 (transport)
Hubs and repeaters operate at the Physical Layer of the OSI Model. The Physical Layer is the first layer of the OSI Model.
According to Cisco Curriculum Semester 4 1.2.1.1 As described in relation to the OSI reference model, WAN operations focus primarily on Layer 1 and Layer 2. WAN access standards typically describe both Physical layer delivery methods and Data Link layer requirements, including physical addressing, flow control, and encapsulation.
Layer 3
Network Layer
TCP, the Transmission Control Protocol, is a layer-4 protocol (in the 7-layer OSI model).
1. Repeaters (Operate at the OSI Physical Layer).2. Bridges (Operate at the OSI Data Link Layer).3. Routers {and Brouters} (Operate at the OSI Network Layer).
TCP operates at transport layer
UDP or User Datagram Protocol works on the Transport Layer (layer 4) in the OSI model.
Hubs are a physical layer (layer 1) device; most switches operate at the Data Link layer (Layer 2) of the OSI model.
TCP/IP because the osi model has seven layer but in tcp/ip only four layers and most important is that the tcp/ip model is reduce the function of osi model.
A firewall generally works at layer 3 and 4 of the OSI model. Layer 3 is the Network Layer where IP works and Layer 4 is the Transport Layer, where TCP and UDP function. Many firewalls today have advanced up the OSI layers and can even understand Layer 7 - the Application Layer.
The Application layer The Presentation layer The Session 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
The data-link layer The physical layer
I've always considered it to operate at the transport layer as it;s simply an encrypted version of TCP. However, Wikipedia OSI-model lists it as operating at the presentation layer, as it's concerned with the transformation of data between the application and transport layers.
