TCP/IP Suite
TCP/IP Suite
A collection of protocols used to implement the four-level hierarchy of the Internet. It provides a standardized way for network devices and software to communicate.
OSI Model
OSI Model
An international standard that defines a seven-level hierarchy for network communication. It was an attempt to replace TCP/IP but failed due to the widespread adoption of TCP/IP.
TCP
TCP
The Transmission Control Protocol, a transport layer protocol responsible for reliable, ordered delivery of data. It establishes a connection between sender and receiver and ensures data integrity.

Study Notes
Networking and the Internet: TCP/IP Protocol Suite
- Standards are crucial for equipment and software compatibility from various vendors.
- Open System Interconnection (OSI) is a standard framework for networking, though the four-layer TCP/IP model is more prevalent.
- TCP/IP is a suite of protocols that implements a four-level hierarchy. It's often misleadingly called a single protocol.
- TCP defines a transport layer version, enabling multiple implementation choices (e.g., TCP or UDP).
- Choosing different transport layers is similar to using different shipping companies.
- TCP establishes a connection before transmission, while UDP does not; UDP is connectionless.
- Destinations might not be operational with UDP.
- TCP transport layers at both ends coordinate acknowledgement and retransmission, creating a reliable protocol.
- UDP is an unreliable protocol.
- TCP can adjust transmission rates to prevent congestion.
- UDP is more streamlined than TCP, making it suitable for tasks like DNS lookups and VoIP.
- TCP is a better choice for email transfer.
- IP (Internet Protocol) defines the network layer and routing.
- Hop count values are included in packets, ensuring efficient forwarding. A value of 64 is typically sufficient.
