Section outline

Week 1 introduces the Internet transport layer and its core protocols. It explores the basic principles of the transport layer, focusing on its role in end-to-end communication. You'll learn to identify its key components and describe the main features of the User Data Protocol (UDP). The module also introduces the essential mechanisms of Automatic repeat request (ARQ) protocols for ensuring reliable transmission.
