Internet Protocol Suite (TCP/IP)


Transmission Control Protocol /Internet Protocol is the set of communications protocols that used for the Internet. It was created by the Department of Defense of USA in order to preserve data integrity. This suite is a compact version of the OSI model and consists of four, instead of seven of OSI, layers:

  
The Process/Application layer defines protocols for node-to node application communication and also controls user-interface specifications.
The Host to Host layer defines protocols for setting up the level of transmission service for applications. It handles issues such as creating reliable end to end communication and ensuring the error free delivery of data.
The Internet layer designates the protocols relating the logical transmission of packets over the network. It gives IP addresses to the hosts and handles the routing of packets among the networks.
 The Link layer monitors the data exchange between the host and the network, overseeing hardware addressing and defining protocols for the physical transmission of data.
