SLT1 – Lecture Summary – Key Takeaways

Difference between TCP/IP and OSI Model:

TCP/IP OSI

TCP refers to Transmission

Control Protocol. OSI refers to Open Systems Interconnection.

TCP/IP has 4 layers. OSI has 7 layers.

SLT1 - LECTURE SUMMARY
TCP/IP is more reliable OSI is less reliable

TCP/IP does not have very strict

boundaries. OSI has strict boundaries

TCP/IP follow a horizontal

approach. OSI follows a vertical approach.

TCP/IP uses both session and

presentation layer in the OSI uses different session and presentation
application layer itself. layers.

TCP/IP developed protocols then

Transport layer in TCP/IP does not

provide assurance delivery of In OSI model, transport layer provides
packets. assurance delivery of packets.

Connection less and connection oriented

TCP/IP model network layer only both services are provided by network layer
provides connection less services. in OSI model.

While in OSI model, Protocols are better

Protocols cannot be replaced covered and is easy to replace with the
easily in TCP/IP model. change in technology.

SLT1- LECTURE LEVEL PRACTICE PROBLEMS (LLPs) to test the LLOs

To test whether you achieved the learning outcomes of this lecture, you should be able to solve the following
LLPs, in the class itself, after completion of the lecture. Minimum one question / problem (LLP) is designed to
test each expected LLO.
1. LLP1(on LLO1):

Q. What is PORT?
A port is basically a physical docking point that is basically used to connect the external devices to the computer, or we
can say that a port acts as an interface between the computer and the external devices, e.g., we can connect hard drives
and printers to the computer with the help of ports
2.Q. Define Protocol?
A protocol is a set of rules and guidelines for communicating data. Rules are defined for each step and process during
communication between two or more computers.
