Tcpip Model

The document discusses the TCP/IP model which contains four layers: process/application layer, host-to-host/transport layer, internet layer, and network access/link layer. It provides details on each layer and their responsibilities like encapsulating data, routing, ensuring reliable data transmission, and allowing users to interact with applications.

TCP/IP MODEL

TCP/IP MODEL

 TCP/IP was designed and developed by Department of Défense (DoD) in 1960s and is based on
standard protocols.
It stands for Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol.
The TCP/IP model is a concise version of the OSI model.
It contains four layers, unlike seven layers in the OSI model. The layers are:
1.Process/Application Layer
2.Host-to-Host/Transport Layer
3.Internet Layer
4.Network Access/Link Layer
Network Access Layer

•A Network Access layer is the lowest layer of the TCP/IP model.


•A Network Access layer is the combination of the Physical layer and Data Link layer defined in
the OSI reference model.
•It defines how the data should be sent physically through the network.
•This layer is mainly responsible for the transmission of the data between two devices on the same
network.
•The functions carried out by this layer are encapsulating the IP datagram into frames transmitted
by the network and mapping of IP addresses into physical addresses.
•The protocols used by this layer are ethernet, token ring, FDDI, X.25, and frame relay.
Internet Layer

•An internet layer is the second layer of the TCP/IP model.

•An internet layer is also known as the network layer.

•The main responsibility of the internet layer is to send the packets from any network, and
they arrive at the destination irrespective of the route they take.
•IP Addressing: This protocol implements logical host addresses known as IP addresses. The IP
addresses are used by the internet and higher layers to identify the device and to provide internetwork
routing.

•Host-to-host communication: It determines the path through which the data is to be transmitted.

•Data Encapsulation and Formatting: An IP protocol accepts the data from the transport layer
protocol. An IP protocol ensures that the data is sent and received securely, it encapsulates the data
into message known as IP datagram.

•Fragmentation and Reassembly: The IP protocol splits the datagram into smaller units so that they
can travel over the local network. Fragmentation can be done by the sender or intermediate router. At
the receiver side, all the fragments are reassembled to form an original message.

•Routing
Transport Layer

The transport layer is responsible for the reliability, flow control, and correction of data which is being
sent over the network.

The two protocols used in the transport layer are User Datagram protocol and Transmission control
protocol.
Application Layer

•An application layer is the topmost layer in the TCP/IP model.

•It is responsible for handling high-level protocols, issues of representation.

•This layer allows the user to interact with the application.

•When one application layer protocol wants to communicate with another application layer, it forwards its data
to the transport layer.
