If it uses the UDP protocol to send and receive data, it will use a UDP port. Figure 1, below, is a represenation of an IP address split into its many TCP and UDP ports.

From an OSI model point of view, most data is moved around using the TCP protocol. This is a bit confusing, a protocol within a protocol. BitTorrent itself operates at layer 7, the application layer.

In particular, when running a single TCP stream, the impact of queue size at bottleneck point is significant. In this paper, we will show the impact of queue size at possible bottleneck point on TCP ...

Despite over 40 years of development, its security remains a critical concern. By exploring the security implications of cross-layer interactions within the TCP/IP protocol suite, particularly those ...
