Can two PCs be connected with a straight through cable instead of a crossover cable?

As long as the PC's were built within the past few years, then it is possible to use a straight through cable instead of a crossover cable. This is possible due to a feature named Auto-MDIX (Medium Dependant Interface Crossover).

In the past, a crossover cable was required to connect two devices of the same type. e.g. a router to another router or a PC to another PC. A straight through cable was required to connect two devices of different types. e.g. a router to a PC.

Auto-MDIX is a feature on the majority of new network devices. If you plug the wrong cable type into a Auto-MDIX enabled device, the device will reconfigure itself to allow connections to work properly.

Why is the transport layer not present inside the network?

The transport layer provides additional function to compensate for the limitations and impairments of the network layer, in order to meet requirements (e.g. QoS) of the upper layer. For example in TCP/IP, IP provides only best effort service. To provide the reliable service required by some applications - that is, to compensate for the shortcomings of best effort service - TCP establishes connections and implements flow control and congestion control on an end-to-end basis. Answer Actually, it is, just not through normal tools. Special programming is required to access the upper layers of TCP.

What is the difference between a network router and switch?

The difference between a router and a switch has to do with the layers of the OSI model that they reside in. A switch is a layer 2 device, which means it relies on the MAC (physical) address for switching packets. A router is a layer 3 device, using the network (logical) address.

A router also can forward packets to another network; a switch does not do that. In addition, a switch forwards all broadcast packets whereas a router does not forward broadcast packets.
