How does the transport layer differentiate between a temporary network glitch and a more serious issue requiring a connection reset?
- By analyzing the number of retransmissions and the time between acknowledgments, it can distinguish between a minor glitch and a serious issue.
- By examining the physical layer for errors, it can determine the severity of the problem.
- By pinging the remote host to check for network status.
- By sending a reset signal to the application layer, it can request a connection reset.
The transport layer differentiates between a temporary network glitch and a more serious issue by monitoring the behavior of the connection. It looks at the number of retransmissions and the time between acknowledgments. If there are a few retransmissions with a brief delay, it's likely a temporary glitch. However, if there are excessive retransmissions or a long delay in acknowledgment, it may indicate a more serious issue that requires a connection reset.
