Using a binary converter:
223 = 11011111
1 = 00000001
3 = 00000011
27 = 00011011
So, 223.1.3.27 in base two binary is 11011111. 00000001. 00000011. 00011011

Transport layer is an end-to-end layer; from Source Destination. A program on the
source computer will carry on the conversation with similar program on destination computer.
The service, however, is a type of service that is used to deliver messages is determined when the
connection between the two computers is established. So, transport layer is called a connection
oriented service.
On the other hand, the network layer is a connection service because it is a layer where
actual connections are established and packets are transferred from source to destination by use of
routers.
