TRANSPORT LAYER - WHAT IS IT ?(9)

okay bestie, you're reading Transport la...what is it ?(9) from the Kernel API Manual 💖✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

Transport layer - what is it ?

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

bestie, the transport layer is literally the layer that deals with the HW directly — it's giving hands-on, no-middleman energy ✨. It provides the PCIe access to the underlying hardware (the page says hardwarwe, and honestly? we're keeping the typo, it's canon 💀).

It does not provide any policy, algorithm, or anything of this kind — only mechanisms to make the HW do something. So like, it's not completely stateless, but it's close. periodt 💅
