• OSI model has seven layers in it
• Two of the layers namely presentation and session
layers were rarely used
• OSI architecture is rigidly structured
• As the technologies developed there was a need for a
new architecture
• Presentation and session layers are eliminated
• TCP/IP architecture has evolved to overcome the
shortcomings of OSI model
Need for TCP/IP

Differences in Architectural Models
• OSI Network architecture model does not permit
communication between different heterogeneous
networks
• It does not support the latest networks developed
Differences in Architectural Models (Contd…)
• TCP/IP network architecture allows us to communicate
between any heterogeneous networks
• It is flexible and ready to change its architectural
structure to support the newly introduced networks
• For Ex: The wireless communication networks also can
be interconnected to the existing wired networks

Functions of the TCP/IP Layers
Host-to-Network Layer
• It is the lowest layer in this model
• It is equivalent to the Physical layer of OSI model
• The TCP/IP reference model does not really say much about what happens in this layer
• It points out that the host has to connect to the network using some protocol so it can send IP packets over it
• This protocol is not clearly defined and varies from host to host and network to network
• It is concerned with the physical characteristics of the medium, connectors, voltage levels etc
13
Host-to-Network Layer (Contd…)
14
Internet Layer
• Internet layer is the lynchpin that holds the whole
architecture together
• Its job is to permit hosts to inject packets into any
network and have them travel independently to the
destination
• The destination can be in a local network or different
network
Internet Layer
15
•They may even arrive in a different order than they were
sent, in which case it is the job of higher layers to rearrange
them
•The internet layer defines an official packet format and
protocol called IP (Internet Protocol)
16
Internet Layer ( contd…)
• Packet routing is clearly the major issue here, as is avoiding congestion
• This layer also performs congestion control i.e. it can divert the data traffic to other routes to ease the congestion
• TCP/IP internet layer is very similar in functionality to the OSI network layer
17
Transport Layer
• The layer above the internet layer in the TCP/IP model
• It is designed to allow peer entities on the source and
destination hosts to carry on a conversation
• Two end-to-end protocols have been defined here
a) Transmission control protocol
b) User data gram protocol
Transport Layer (Contd…)
18
•The first one, TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is a
reliable connection-oriented protocol.
•TCP allows a byte stream originating on one machine to
be delivered without error on to any other machine in the
internet.
•It fragments the incoming byte stream into discrete
messages and passes each one onto the internet layer.
19
Transport Layer (Contd…)
• At the destination, the receiving TCP process reassembles the
received messages into the output stream
• TCP also handles flow control
• It makes sure that a fast sender cannot swamp a slow receiver
with more messages than it can handle
20
UDP Protocol
• The second protocol in this layer is UDP (User Datagram
Protocol)
• UDP an unreliable, connectionless protocol for
applications that do not want TCP’s sequencing or flow
control
Transport Layer (Contd…)
21
•It is widely used for one-short, client-server type request-
reply queries
•It is used in applications in which prompt delivery is more
important than accurate delivery, such as transmitting
speech or video

Application Layer
• TCP/IP model does not have session or presentation layers
• On top of the transport layer is the application layer
• It contains all the higher-level protocols
• The early ones included virtual terminal (TELNET), file transfer (FTP), and electronic mail (SMTP)
• TELNET, the virtual terminal protocol allows a user on one machine to log into a distant machine and work there
24
Application Layer (Contd….)
• SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) also called as Electronic mail
• It was originally just a kind of file transfer, later a
specialized protocol was developed for it
• Domain Name Service (DNS) for mapping host names
onto their network addresses
• The file transfer protocol provides a way to move data in
the form of files efficiently from one machine to another
25
•DNS is used to translate the email ID into IP address.
Users can identify themselves through email ID
•Network News Transfer Protocol (NNTP) the protocol
used for moving news articles, which will be used by the
news paper companies
•Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP), the protocol used
for fetching pages on the World Wide Web
Application Layer (Contd….)
