TCP IP Model 1629459875
TCP IP Model 1629459875
• Proposed in 1970s
• Protocols were still being developed
• The inventors of the original OSI model probably did not have the Internet in
mind when creating it
• But some books and training courses picked up OSI model
• Are the services provided by additional two layers unimportant?
Application Layer
• Contains protocols used by network
applications
• HTTP, SMTP, FTP
• Network functions: DNS, PING, TELNET,
DHCP
• Distributed on end systems(hosts)
• Takes help of transport layer to transfer this
data
• Protocol Data Unit(PDU) – message(request
and response)
TRANSPORT LAYER
• Transport layer passes the segment packet and a destination address to the network layer
• Network layer helps in delivering the segment to transport layer in the destination host.
• Unreliable
• IP protocol
• Source and destination IP address
• Routing protocols
• PDU – Datagrams
• Asks data link layer to transfer datagram from one host or router to another
Data Link Layer
• Moves a datagram from one node(host or router) to the next node on the route.
• Ethernet, WiFi and PPP
• A datagram may be handled by different link-layer protocols at different links in the
route
• Source and destination MAC address
• PDU – Frames
• Data link layer asks the physical layer to transfer the frames from one node to another
PHYSICAL LAYER
• Move individual bits within the frames from one node to next node
• Different protocols for different mediums like twisted-pair copper wire, fiber,
coaxial cable etc.
