The OSI and TCP/IP protocols, which are both significant sets of protocols, will be covered in this chapter. What do these initials stand for and what are the main objectives of each of the two protocols in one or two lines for each protocol?

The Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) suite is based on a Department of Defense-developed theoretical model. It has become the de facto standard for communications protocol in computer networks. Using diagrams, go through the importance of TCP/IP in computer communications.

The two strongest arguments for adopting layered protocol architecture, in your view, are the following.

Specifically, what distinguishes the OSI and TCP/IP models of protocols? What evidence do you have to support your assertions?

In what ways are the OSI and TCP/IP protocol models distinct from one another, and how do those differences manifest themselves? Provide an explanation and back up your position with evidence and facts.

Each of the two basic arguments in support of the adoption of layered protocols is persuasive. You must provide an example to substantiate the statements you are making.
