How do the OSI and TCP/IP protocol models vary from one another? Use data and proof to support your position.

The Open System Interconnection (OSI) and the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) are two main models that use the concept of protocol layering. With the help of diagrams, describe step-by-step procedures on how data is exchanged between two devices in the TCP/IP model.

Consider each layer of the TCP/IP protocol stack and order them from most important to least. Can one or more of these layers be combined or separated? Would the kind of information being sent affect how you order, and if so, why or why not? Why did you decide to place your order that way? To assist you, use the following scale: The most important component is represented by 1, while the least important factor is represented by 5.

In support of layered protocols, what are the two most persuasive arguments? Please substantiate your claim with examples or examples of the evidence you provide.
