When 5 - Session Layer SUCCESSFULLY made connection between host and remote computer, data's passed down to transport layer
A protocol will be selected
Received data will be divided for easier transmission.
(TCP pieces are called segments)
(UDP pieces are called datagrams)
Allows 2 computers to remain in constant communication.
Any lost data is re-sent.
Packets of data are essentially thrown at the receiving computer,
if receiving computer can't keep up then that's not his problem
(e.g. a pixelated skype call)
Transport layer divides the transmission to bite-sized pieces which makes easier transmission of message.
(TCP bite pieces are called segments)
(UDP they're called datagrams)
