Layer 4 protocols are transport layer protocols that handle data transfers between systems on a network. These protocols are responsible for establishing and maintaining connections between endpoints, as well as for providing error–checking, flow control, sequencing, and acknowledgement services. Examples of Layer 4 protocols include TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) and UDP (User Datagram Protocol).
