    Abstract: Transport protocols provide for end-to-end communication between two or more communicating hosts. This paper provides a tutorial on the transport layer, the services transport-layer protocols provide, and the transport protocol features used to provide these services. The paper then surveys seventeen major transport protocols, providing a brief description of each. The service and protocol features of all seventeen are summarized in table format.
