Computer Network : OSI vs TCP/IP


Comparison of the OSI and TCP/IP Reference Models:


OSI (Open System Interconnection)

TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol)



1. OSI is a generic, protocol independent standard, acting as a communication gateway between the network and end user.

1. TCP/IP model is based on standard protocols around which the Internet has developed. It is a communication protocol, which allows connection of host over a network.

2. In OSI model the transport layer guarantees the delivery of packets.

2. In TCP/IP model the transport layer does not guarantees delivery of packets. Still the TCP/IP model is more reliable.

3. Follows vertical approach.

3. Follows horizontal approach.

4. OSI model has a separate Presentation layer and Session layer.

4. TCP/IP does not have a separate Presentation layer or Session layer.

5. Transport Layer is Connection Oriented.

5. Transport Layer is both Connection Oriented and Connection less.

 

6. Network Layer is both Connection Oriented and Connection less.

 

6. Network Layer is Connection less.

7. OSI is a reference model around which the networks are built. Generally, it is used as a guidance tool.

7. TCP/IP model is, in a way implementation of the OSI model.

8. Network layer of OSI model provides both connection oriented and connectionless service.

8. The Network layer in TCP/IP model provides connectionless service.

9. OSI model has a problem of fitting the protocols into the model.

9. TCP/IP model does not fit any protocol

10. Protocols are hidden in OSI model and are easily replaced as the technology changes.

10. In TCP/IP replacing protocol is not easy.

11. OSI model defines services, interfaces and protocols very clearly and makes clear distinction between them. It is protocol independent.

 

11. In TCP/IP, services, interfaces and protocols are not clearly separated. It is also protocol dependent.

12. It has 7 layers

12. It has 4 layers

BIT ORIENTED PROTOCOLS : SDLC, HDLC, BISYNC, LAP & LAPB

BIT ORIENTED PROTOCOLS A bit-oriented protocol is a communications protocol that sees the transmitted data as an opaque stream of bits with no semantics, or meaning. Control codes are defined in terms of bit sequences instead of characters. Bit oriented protocol can transfer data frames regardless of frame contents. It can also be stated as "bit stuffing" this technique allows the data frames to contain an arbitrary number of bits and allows character codes with arbitrary number of bits per character. SDLC Synchronous Data Link Control (SDLC) supports a variety of link types and topologies. It can be used with point-to-point and multipoint links, bounded and unbounded media, half-duplex and full-duplex transmission facilities, and circuit-switched and packet-switched networks. SDLC identifies two types of network nodes: primary and secondary. Primary nodes control the operation of other stations, called secondary. The primary polls the secondary in a predeter...

Can coronavirus spread through mosquitoes?

  Can coronavirus spread through mosquitoes? Scientists have confirmed for the first time that the novel coronavirus behind the COVID-19 pandemic cannot be transmitted to people by mosquitoes , a finding that adds evidence to WHO claims that the disease is not mosquito-borne. The research, published in the journal Scientific Reports, provided the first experimental evidence on the capacity of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19 disease, to infect and be transmitted by mosquitoes. "Here we provide the first experimental data to investigate the capacity of SARS-CoV-2 to infect and be transmitted by mosquitoes," the study noted. "While the World Health Organization (WHO) has definitively stated that mosquitoes cannot transmit the virus, our study is the first to provide conclusive data supporting the theory," said Stephen Higgs, a co-author of the research from Kansas State University in the US. According to the study, conducted at the university...

Do Google Assistant work on KaiOS?

Yes Google Assistant can now read, translate text on KaiOS Google on Tuesday announced that now within Google Assistant, KaiOS users in India can use Google Lens to read, translate, and define words. At Google I/O in 2019, the US-based search engine giant brought a camera-based translation to Google Lens to help understand information. With Lens, one can point the camera at text one see and translate it into more than 100 languages and can even speak the words out loud in the preferred language. "We brought these Lens capabilities to Google Go, so even those on the most affordable smartphones can access them. Today we are extending this capability to the millions of Google Assistant users on KaiOS devices in India," the company said in a statement. It is currently available in English and several Indian languages, including Hindi, Bengali, Telugu, Marathi, and Tamil, and will soon be available in Kannada and Gujarati. Users can simply press the right soft key ...

52 Chinese apps red-flagged by Indian Intel agencies

52 Chinese apps red-flagged by Indian Intel agencies; TikTok, ShareIt, UC Browser, Clean Master in list Indian intelligence agencies have asked the government to block or advise people to stop using a bunch of applications that are apparently extracting user data. These Chinese apps, 52 in number are linked to neighboring country China. The concern raised is that the applications in question end up extracting a huge amount of private data and sending this outside India. The list of applications includes popular tools that are used by lots of people in the country.

Data link layer :Mac sub-layer, MAC Addressing,MAC vs IP addressing

MAC Sublayer In the seven-layer OSI model of computer networking, media access control (MAC) data communication protocol is a sublayer of the data link layer (layer 2). The MAC sublayer provides addressing and channel access control mechanisms that make it possible for several terminals or network nodes to communicate within a multiple access network that incorporates a shared medium, e.g. Ethernet. The hardware that implements the MAC is referred to as a media access controller.   The MAC sublayer acts as an interface between the logical link control (LLC) sublayer and the network's physical layer. The MAC layer emulates a full-duplex logical communication channel in a multi-point network. This channel may provide unicast, multicast or broadcast communication service.   MAC Addressing (Media Access Control address) In a local area network (LAN) or other network, the MAC (Media Access Control) address is your computer's unique hardware number. In a local are...
