Chapter 4, Problem 41CRP
Program Plan Intro
Transport layer:
The transport layer accepts the message sent by the application layer. This layer is the second layer from the top in the internet software hierarchy.
The transport layer also divides long message into various small message segments to meet the maximum size set by each protocol.
The transport layer checks the format of messages that is to be used in transmission through the internet.

The usage of layered protocols is motivated by two factors.
Why does the transport layer protocol in HTTP, SMTP, and POP3 happen to be TCP rather than UDP?
TCP/IP uses packet switching for its routing decisions, where information is split into packets and each packet is routed independently through the network. What is a packet header? What does encapsulation/decapsulation mean?
