    Study Notes

    Comparing TCP/IP and OSI Models

    • TCP/IP model has four layers: Link, Internet, Transport, Application
    • OSI model has seven layers: Physical, Data Link, Network, Transport, Session, Presentation, Application
    • TCP/IP is practical, used in real-world network implementations
    • OSI is theoretical, a detailed reference model for understanding network functions
    • TCP/IP is widely used in network communication systems
    • OSI is primarily an educational tool to understand network layers
    • TCP/IP combines OSI's Application, Presentation, and Session layers into one Application layer, handling high-level protocols and session management
    • OSI has separate Application, Presentation, and Session layers, with more distinct functions for each layer
    • TCP/IP Transport Layer uses TCP and UDP for communication
    • OSI Transport Layer assures reliable data transfer and correct data sequencing
    • TCP/IP Internet Layer manages logical addressing and routing (IP)
    • OSI Network Layer handles routing, addressing, and data packet forwarding
    • TCP/IP Link Layer handles physical network hardware and media access control
    • OSI Data Link Layer provides node-to-node data transfer and error correction
    • OSI Session Layer manages application sessions and dialogues (absent in TCP/IP)
    • OSI Presentation Layer translates data for the Application Layer (absent in TCP/IP)
    • OSI Physical layer is equivalent to the Network Interface Layer in TCP/IP dealing with physical network aspects
