The transport layer is the fourth layer of the OSI reference model. It provides transparent transfer of data between end systems using the services of the network layer (e.g. IP) below to move PDUs of data between the two communicating systems.

The heterogeneous nature of the Internet communications is transparent for the end user. One of the factors determining the transit delays is the presence of fragmentation and reassembly of the IP datagrams. The modern recommendations regarding the IP fragmentation process is to avoid it. ... The OSI Model:

The main role of the transport layer is to establish an end-to-end connection and an end-to-end flow and error control, between two host computers. ... Undersized messages will be added to other small or undersized messages to go into these segments. [“Networking Technologies, Chapter 9: the OSI Transport Layer”,
