The document provides an overview of several transport layer protocols and concepts: - TCP is a connection-oriented protocol that provides reliable, ordered delivery through the use of acknowledgments, flow control, and error control. UDP is a simpler connectionless protocol. - Sockets provide an interface between applications and the network, allowing applications to build distributed client-server systems. - Congestion control is important to prevent network congestion and ensure fair resource sharing between flows. TCP uses end-to-end congestion control while some protocols use network feedback. - RTP and RTCP are used for real-time media delivery over UDP, providing sequencing, timing information, and quality monitoring without guarantees. - SCT
