OSI vs TCP/IP Protocol Comparison

The document is an assignment submission that discusses the OSI and TCP/IP models. It provides answers to questions about how OSI and ISO are related, matching layers of the OSI model to functions, and comparing the OSI and TCP/IP protocol suites. The comparison notes that OSI is a reference model while TCP/IP is used widely on the internet. It outlines that the layers provide similar functionality but have some differences in naming and included protocols.

Assignment 2: Lesson 2

1. How are OSI and ISO related to each other?

Answer: ISO stands for International Standards Organization


which is a multinational organization that tries to standardize
network communication protocols at the international level. OSI
(Open System Interconnection) is a model that ISO put together
as a networking communication standard.

2. Match the following to one or more layers of the OSI model:

Answer:

a. route determination – Network Layer (Layer 3)

b. flow control - Transport Layer (Layer 4)

c. interface to transmission media - Physical Layer (Layer 1)

d. provides access for the end user - Application Layer (Layer


7)
Essay

Briefly discuss the Comparison between OSI and TCP/IP

Protocol Suite.

Answer:

OSI (Open System Interconnection) model was


introduced by ISO (International Standard Organization).
Currently OSI (Open System Interconnection) model is just
a reference model. Means that, there are no real working
implementations of OSI model on any of latest network
infrastructure devices or Operating Systems. OSI (Open
System Interconnection) model is used these days only as a
reference model for teaching computer networking concepts
and for understanding how computer networks operate.

However the TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol


Internet Protocol) are with US Department of Defense
(DoD). Original TCP/IP (Transmission Control
Protocol/Internet Protocol) model had only four layers,
and later an updated model evolved with five layers.
TCP/IP protocol suite and thus TCP/IP model got wider
acceptance than OSI model, because world’s largest network
internet started operating using TCP/IP protocol suite.

-The Layers of OSI model and TCP/IP model provide similar


functionalities in computer networking.

-Originally TCP/IP model was a four layered model, and


later updated to a five layered model. But, OSI reference
model has seven layers.

-Layers of OSI reference model and updated five layered


TCP/IP model layers have similar names.

-Network Layer (layer 3) of OSI reference model is called


as Internet Layer in original TCP/IP model.
-Layers of TCP/IP and OSI models contain many different
protocols and/or standards to provide the functionalities
of each layer. For example: Transport layer contains two
important protocols; TCP (Transmission Control
Protocol) and UDP (User Datagram Protocol).

-Original four layered TCP/IP model and updated five


layered TCP/IP model do not have Session Layer and
Presentation Layer. OSI reference model has two additional
layers, named as Session Layer and Presentat ion Layer.

-TCP/IP is a client-server model. In a network operating


using TCP/IP protocol suite, clients requests for service
and the server provides the requested service.

-The biggest network in the world "internet" runs on


TCP/IP protocol suite. As discussed above, OSI (Open
System Interconnection) model is only used as a reference
model to discuss or teach networking concepts.
