TCP/IP Model
TCP/IP stands for Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. It has 4 layers named as Physical layer, Network layer, Transport layer, and Application layer. It also can be used as a communications protocol in a private computer network. It was designed by Vint Cerf and Bob Kahn in the 1970s.
Advantages
- Many Routing protocols are supported.
- It is highly scalable and uses a client-server architecture.
- It is lightweight.
Disadvantages
- Little difficult to set up.
- Delivery of packets is not guaranteed by the transport layer.
- Vulnerable to a synchronization attack.
Difference Between OSI Model and TCP/IP Model
Data communication is a process or act in which we can send or receive data. For data communication two models are available. We will discuss these two models in this article and also see the differences between these two articles.
