Tentxa Layer Network ( Comparison of OSI Reference Model and TCP/IP Reference Model )

Comparison of OSI Reference Model and TCP/IP Reference Model

Following are some major differences between OSI Reference Model and TCP/IP Reference Model, with diagrammatic comparison below.
OSI(Open System Interconnection)TCP/IP(Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol)
1. OSI is a generic, protocol independent standard, acting as a communication gateway between the network and end user.1. TCP/IP model is based on standard protocols around which the Internet has developed. It is a communication protocol, which allows connection of hosts over a network.
2. In OSI model the transport layer guarantees the delivery of packets.2. In TCP/IP model the transport layer does not guarantees delivery of packets. Still the TCP/IP model is more reliable.
3. Follows vertical approach.3. Follows horizontal approach.
4. OSI model has a separate Presentation layer and Session layer.4. TCP/IP does not have a separate Presentation layer or Session layer.
5. OSI is a reference model around which the networks are built. Generally it is used as a guidance tool.5. TCP/IP model is, in a way implementation of the OSI model.
6. Network layer of OSI model provides both connection oriented and connectionless service.6. The Network layer in TCP/IP model provides connectionless service.
7. OSI model has a problem of fitting the protocols into the model.7. TCP/IP model does not fit any protocol
8. Protocols are hidden in OSI model and are easily replaced as the technology changes.8. In TCP/IP replacing protocol is not easy.
9. OSI model defines services, interfaces and protocols very clearly and makes clear distinction between them. It is protocol independent.9. In TCP/IP, services, interfaces and protocols are not clearly separated. It is also protocol dependent.
10. It has 7 layers10. It has 4 layers

Tentxa layer Network ( Connection Oriented and Connectionless Services )

Connection Oriented and Connectionless Services These are the two services given by the layers to layers above them. These services are : Connection Oriented Service Connectionless Services Connection Oriented Services There is a sequence of operation to be followed by the users of connection oriented service. These are : Connection is established Information is sent Connection is released In connection oriented service we have to establish a connection before starting the communication. When connection is established we send the message or the information and then we release the connection. Connection oriented service is more reliable than connectionless service. We can send the message in connection oriented service if there is an error at the receivers end. Example of connection oriented is TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) protocol. Connection Less Services It is similar to the postal services, as it carries the full address where the message (letter) i...
