Question
Chapter 4.4, Problem 3QE
Program Plan Intro
Transport layer:
Transport layer divides a message into manageable segments so that the segment can be reassembled at the message’s destination, these segments are known as packets, and the transport layer hands the packet to the network layer.
Network layer:
The network layer determines the next intermediate destination of a message segment with the use of the forwarding table. It determines where to send the packet to get it started. The network layer returns the packet to the link layer for actual transmission.

Students have asked these similar questions
What does the transport layer use to make sure that a message is reassembled correctly on the receiving device?
Two transport-layer protocols may be used by certain application applications (UDP or TCP). Thus, how can a computer determine which transport layer is responsible for delivering a packet?
Is the assumption that the transport layer contributes nothing to the core of the computer network correct?
