Differences between OSI and TCP/IP Model.
1. OSI stands for open system interconnection.
2 OSI has seven layers.
3 OSI has a presentation and session layer
which allows ordinary data transport, but
also enhance useful services.
4 There is a layer called network layer.
5 The OSI model support both connection
oriented and connectionless
communication in the n/w layer.
6 OSI support only connection oriented
communication in the transport layer.
7 There are two lower level layers called Data
link layer and Physical Layers.
8 OSI model clearly distinguish between
services, interface and protocols.
9 Protocols in OSI model are better hidden.
1 Protocols in the OSI model can be replaces
0 easily as the technology changes. Bring able
to make such changes is one of the main
purpose of having layered Protocols in the
first place.
1 OSI Reference model was devised before
1 the protocols were invented. This ordering
means that the model was not based
towards one particular set of protocols,
which made it quit general.
1 The designers did not have much
2 experience with the subject and did not
have a good idea of which functionality to
put in which layer.
E. g:- data link layer dealt only with pt. To
pt. n/w and when broadcast network came
around a new sub layer has to be lacked.
1 OSI model guarantee reliable delivery of
3 packets at the transport layer.
1 OSI is reference model.
4
1 OSI is comparatively complex model.
5 layers.
1 N/w s is not usually built around the OSI
6 model as it is merely used as a guidance
tool.
1
1 TCP/IP stands for transmission control
protocol/ Internet Protocol.
2 TCP/IP has four layers.
3 Presentation and session layers are not
present in TCP/IP model.
4 Internet layer is present in TCP/IP model.
5 Only connectionless communication in the
N/W layer is being supported.
6 In TCP/IP model both modes
(connectionless and connection oriented)
are being supported in the transport layer
and gives user a choice.
7 There is one low level Layer called Host to
network.
8 TCP/IP model did not originally clearly
distinguish b/w services interface and
protocol.
9 Protocols need not to be hidden in the
TCP/IP layer.
10 In TCP/IP Protocols cannot be replaced
easily as the technology changes.
11 With the TCP/IP the reverse was true, the
protocol come first and the model was
really just a description of the exiting
protocol. The model did not hit any other
protocol stacks.
12 There was no problem with the protocol
fitting the model. They fit perfectly.
13 The transport layer in TCP/IP does not
always guarantee reliable delivery of
packets at the transport layer.
14 TCP/IP is a implementation of OSI model.
15 TCP/IP is simple model as it has fewer
16 It is considered to be a more credible
model because TCP/IP protocols are the
standards around which the internet was
developed.
1 The session layer permits two parties to
7 hold communication called a session across
a network.
1 The representation layer handles data
8 format information for networked
communication. This can be done by
converting data into generic format that
could be understood by both sides.
1 In OSI model commonly used protocols
9 used are DS, FTAM, MHS, and CMIP.
2 OSI approach sometime called horizontal
0 approach.
2 In OSI model CLNP protocol is present in
1 network layer which accumulate variable
length addresses.
2 In OSI model the routing architecture is as
2 follows:-
End system & immediate system are routing
protocol to disturb the information in their
locally maintained routing information
based. ESO & ISO send and receive these
routing updates and use the information
that they contain to modify their routing
information based.
2 Each layer of OSI model detects and handles
3 errors and all data transmit in clued
checksum.
2 The transport layer of OSI model check
4 source to destination reliability.
2 Hosts on OSI implementation do not handle
5 n/w operations.
2 Implementation of OSI model provides a
6 reliable data transfer services.
2 OSI model is not widely used because of
7 complex and costly.
2 OSI model is used mostly for teaching acts.
8 virtually every hardware & operating
2 There are two layers at low level i.e. data
9 Link &Physical Layer.
17 In TCP/IP session layer not found and its
characteristics are provided by TCP
protocol (Transport layer).
18 In TCP/IP session layer not found its
characteristics are provided by TCP.
The presentation layer not existing TCP/IP
model this function is provided by
application layer. E.g. External data
representation standard (XDR), Mail
extension (MIME), Multipurpose internet.
19 In TCP/IP protocol used in application layer
are FTP, SMTP, TELNET, and DNS.
20 TCP/IP approach sometime called vertical
approach.
21 TCP/IP has a similar protocol that is IP
protocol in internet layer. IP support 32 bit
IP addresses.
22 In TCP/IP model hosts are the discovery
protocol to obtain the identification of
gateways & Other hosts attached to the
some network.
23 In TCP/IP model reliability control is
concerned as a transport layer.
24 In TCP/IP the transport layer handles errors
detection & recovery it uses checksum,
acknowledgement and time outs to control
transmission for provides end to end
verification.
25 TCP/IP hosts participate in most network
protocols.
26 TCP/IP model treats reliability as an end to
end.
27 TCP/IP model is in used because of its
simple structure & economic
28 TCP/IP used for internet & available on
system platform.
29 In this subnet layer correspond to two
layers.
