IP by itself is something like the postal system. It allows you to address a package and drop it in the system, but there's no direct link between you and the recipient. TCP/IP, on the other hand, establishes a connection between two hosts so that they can send messages back and forth for a period of time.
Therefore we have a concept called “Protocol”
The Internet Protocol defines the basic unit of data transfer (IP Datagram) IP software performs the routing function IP includes a set of rules that process the idea of unreliable packet delivery. ◦ How hosts and routers should process packets ◦ How & when error messages should be generated ◦ The Conditions under which packets can be discarded.
Each #datagram has two components ◦ Header ◦ Payload Header (^) + Data (Payload) Packet
IP supports the following services One-to-one (unicast) One-to-all (broadcast) One-to-several (multicast) unicast broadcast multicast
Layer 7: Application Layer 6: Presentation Layer 5: Session Layer 4: Transport Layer 3: Network Layer 2: Data Link Layer 1: Physical
This layer deals with the Hardware of network. Physical Layer Hardware ◦ Cables , Connectors, Hubs, Repeaters.. Etc. Function : Manages signaling to and from physical network connections Physical Layer Protocols & Standards ◦ Ethernet (802.3), Token Ring(802.5) , Wi-Fi(802.11)
This layer deals with MAC addresses of devices Responsible for Physical Addressing , Error correction & preparing the information for the media frames. Devices Switches , Bridges , Wireless Access Points , NICs, etc. Data Link Layer Protocols & Standards L2TP, PPP,SLIP etc….
This layer deals with Segments Breaks information into segments and is responsible for connection & connectionless communication Hardware ◦ Proxy Server , Gateways , Firewall…etc. Transport Layer Protocols TCP UDP
Responsible for establishing, managing & terminating user connections. Acknowledgements of data received during a session. Retransmission of data if it is not received by a device. Session Layer Protocols RTP , SIP , Net BIOS.. etc.
This layer is what the user sees…. (Loading an application such as web browser or email..) Provides Interface for users to communicate with applications. Examples ◦ Email , Instant Messengers, Http , SMTP, Telnet, Ping… etc.
TCP/IP is a set of protocols developed to allow cooperating computers to share resources across a network. TCP stands for Transmission Control Protocol They are Transport Layer & Network Layer protocols in OSI model. The most well known network that adopted TCP/IP is --> Internet. ( The Biggest WAN)
