Connection-oriented protocols are found at the transport layer 4.



2. When a computer sends data, a person will start at Layer 7 of the OSI model, which is the application layer. Here is where the data is created and then it sends it to the presentation and session layers where all three add header information. Then the data is broken into smaller pieces by layer 4, transport layer. The transport layer adds the TCP header and the data is now called a segment. Each segment is sequenced in order for the data stream to be put together again when it reaches its destination. Then the segments are handed to the network layer3. The network layer adds its header of logical addresses...
