OSI vs TCP/IP Models Explained

This document contains an assignment from 2020 with questions about OSI and TCP/IP models. [1] It lists the layers and their functions in both models and asks about similarities and differences. [2] The similarities include both having layered architectures and providing similar functionalities at each layer. A key difference is that TCP/IP has fewer layers by combining session and presentation. [3] The final question asks about the differences between the transport and internet layers, noting that transport performs flow/error control between processes while internet performs it between links.

Question#02
Following are some similarities between OSI Reference Model and TCP/IP Reference
Model.

 Both have layered architecture


 Both models simplify troubleshooting process by dividing complex functions into
simpler components.
 Both provide a framework for creating and implementing networking standards
and devices
 Layers provide similar functionalities.
 Both are protocol stack.
 Both are reference models.

DIFFERENCE

OSI(open system interconnection) VS TCP/ip(transmission control protocol /

internet protocol)

 Not a protocol but a reference model used Standard A standard protocol used for every network

for understanding and designing the system including the Internet

architecture.

Protocol independent standard Protocol dependent Protocol dependent standard

standard

Vertical approach. Approach Horizontal approach.

Has a separate session and Presentation Presentation layer Combines the session and presentation

layer layer in application layer

Network Layer is both Connection Oriented Network layer Network Layer is Connection less.

and Connection less.

It has 7 layers Layers It has 5 layers

Protocols are hidden in OSI model and are Protocols replacement In TCP/IP replacing protocol is not easy.

easily replaced as the technology changes.

no longer used in computer networking Use  TCP/IP is still used in computer networking.

QUESTION#03
The TCP/IP Transport layer, also called the Host-to-Host layer, is responsible for
the delivery of data between the Internet layer and the Application layer, error control
and recovery, flow control, congestion control, and data segmentation

An network access layer is a second layer of the TCP/IP model. It is also known as
data link layer. The main work of this layer is to send the packets from any network, and
any computer still they reach the destination irrespective of the route they take. The
various functions performed by the Internet Layer are:

 Delivering IP packets
 Avoiding congestion between the assigned link

So, the difference is that the transport layer performs flow/error control from process to
process while internet layer performs flow/error control between the links and it does not
perform it other than that.
