Transport: reliable process-to-process msg delivery, tcp, udp
network: packet transport and internetworking

physical: transmit bits over a medium

Each layer communicate logically with intermediate node.

RTT: Round Trip Time
WAN is much greater than that of LAN.
TCP flow control -> Three way handshake,
