Course: COMPUTER NETWORKS AND SECURITY (18CS52)

A transport-layer protocol provides logical-communication between processes running on different hosts. Whereas, a network-layer protocol provides logical-communication between hosts. Transport layer protocols are implemented in the end-systems but not in network-routers. Within an end-system, a transport protocol moves messages from application-processes to the network-layer and vice versa. But doesn't say anything about how the messages are moved within the network-core.

Students of 5th Semester, B Section, Computer Science and Engineering have role played on the above mentioned topic. Students had to act out roles which represented hosts, processes, transport layer protocol and network layer protocol.

This facilitated: • Better understanding of the topic.

• Appeal to different learning style and incorporated active learning.

• Presentation, communication, social and creativity skills.

• Problem solving skills
