RE: what is the difference between osi and tcp/ip?
OSI is open system interconnection . OSI consists of 7 layers like apllication layer presentation layer session layer transport layer network layer datalink layer physical layer .
TCP/IP - Transport control protocol / Internet protocol .
RE: what is the difference between osi and tcp/ip?
Basically OSI-Open System Interconnection is a model designed to explain the characterstics/way to achieve data communication using different layers (7 Layers )never been physically used to make communication. Because it is just a model desiged by ISO.
Whereas TCP/IP- Transmission Control Protocol/ Internet Protocol contains only 5 layers And is the system using which data communication can be achieved practically.
RE: what is the difference between osi and tcp/ip?
OSI model is a 'reference model' that describes how the protocols should interact with each one another invented by the Department of Defense.
Where as TCP/IP model becomes one of the standards that enabled the Internet what it is today.. the application layer of TCP/IP model can handle the resoponsibiltes of the layers 5 6 7 in OSI model. The transport layer in TCP/IP does not always guarantee reliable delivery of packets at the transport layer while the OSI model does. TCP/IP also offers an option called UDP that does not guarantee reliable packet delivery.
RE: what is the difference between osi and tcp/ip?
The OSI implies Open Source Interconnection which is a 7 layer network technology but tcp/ip implies transmission control protocol+internet protocol which used to develop a connection between client and server.
