    - The four layers of the TCP/IP stack (also called the DoD model) are Application/Process, Host-to-Host, Internet, and Network Access.

    - The Host-to-Host layer is equivalent to the Transport layer of the OSI model.

    - Host-to-Host layer specifying protocols for setting up the level of transmission service for applications.

    - It creates the end-to-end reliable communication and handles the whole process.

    - It also tackles packet sequencing and preserves data reliability.
