TCP/IP Model Layers

Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is a suite of protocols. TCP and IP


are just two of the protocols in the suite.
TCP/IP was based on a four-layer model. It describes all the same functions as the OSI
Model, just using less layers.
Here are the layers of the TCP/IP model and the protocols that make up the TCP/IP protocol
suite.
HTTP, HTTPS, SMTP, IMAP, POP, NFS, DNS, SNMP, DHCP, FTP, TFTP,
Application
Telnet
Transport TCP, UDP
Internet IP, ICMP, IGMP, ARP, RIP, OSPF, EIGRP, BGP, IPSec, NAT
Network Interface
Ethernet (CSMA/CD, CSMA/CD), Token Ring, PPP, L2TP, PPTP

NOTE: We will discuss the names and functions of these protocols in later lessons.
Here is how the OSI Model relates to the TCP/IP Model:
