This includes how data should be packetized, addressed, transmitted, routed, and received, into 4 layers of abstraction. It enables easier worldwide networking communication.


3. Some differences between the TCP/IP Model and the OSI Model include: that the TCP/IP Model has 4 layers and the OSI Model has 7 layers, the OSI model is not protocol dependent, and the OSI Transport layer guarantees delivery of packets whereas the TCP/IP Transport layer doesn't. The OSI Model is used to help you understand how your network operates whereas the TCP/IP Model is used as a standard governed by the IETF.
