TCP/IP Model: An Overview
• Layers of TCP/IP:
• - Application Layer: Services for applications like file
transfer and email.
• - Transport Layer: Provides reliable transfer (TCP) or
connectionless (UDP).
• - Internet Layer: Addressing, packaging, and routing
(e.g., IP protocol).
• -Network Access Layer: Physical data handling and
error control.
• Each layer plays a unique role in ensuring data is
effectively transmitted.
OSI Model: Layers Explained
• OSI Model Layers:
• - Physical: Transmits raw bits over physical media.
• - Data Link: Manages error-checking and MAC
addressing.
• - Network: Routes packets between devices.
• -Transport: Ensures complete data transfer.
• - Session: Manages sessions between applications.
• - Presentation: Data translation and encryption.
• - Application: Interface for networked applications.
• The OSI model is a standard for networking layers and
protocol operations.
TCP/IP VS OSI
TCP/IP VS OSI
Comparing TCP/IP and OSI Models
• Key Differences:
• - **Layers**: OSI (7 layers), TCP/IP (4 layers).
• - **Purpose**: OSI is theoretical; TCP/IP is
practical.
• - **Protocols**: Examples include HTTP, FTP
(Application) and IP (Network).
• - **Implementation**: TCP/IP is widely used in
internet architecture.
• Both models provide frameworks for data
exchange in networks.
Network Devices Overview
• Common Network Devices:
• - **Hub**: Central device that connects multiple devices.
• - **Repeater**: Boosts signals to extend reach.
• - **Bridge**: Divides and reduces traffic in large networks.
• - **Switch**: Routes data to specific devices in a network.
• - **Router**: Connects different networks and routes data.
• - **Gateway**: Translates between network protocols.
• - **Brouter**: Combines bridge and router functionality.
• Each device has specific uses in data flow and network
structure.
Hub
• A central device connecting multiple devices
in a network.
Repeater
• Boosts and regenerates signals across network
distances.
Bridge
• Divides networks and reduces network traffic.
Switch
• Manages data flow efficiently within a
network.
Router
• Directs data packets between networks using
IP addresses.
Gateway
• Acts as a node for connecting different
network architectures.
Types of Networks: LAN, MAN, WAN
• **LAN (Local Area Network)**:
• - Limited to small geographical areas (e.g., office).
