TCP/IP

Let's learn about TCP/IP

TCP/IP

  • Modern networks are mostly composed of TCP/IP and Ethernet

  • It is a protocol focused on practicality rather than theory

TCP/IP vs OSI 7 Layers

TCP/IP vs OSI Model: What's the Difference?

  • OSI 7 Layers consists of 7 layers, while the TCP/IP model is divided into 4 layers

  • OSI 7 Layers distinguished between data flow layer and application layer, separating the parts that application developers and network engineers should consider, and the TCP/IP model makes this distinction even more apparent

    • The upper 3 layers are combined into a single application layer, and Layers 1 and 2 of OSI 7 Layers, namely the physical layer and data link layer, are grouped into a single network layer
