TCP/IP:
Transmission control protocol /Internet protocol.
TCP: TCP/IP model is also called the DoD model because TCP/IP was developed in connection with the ARPANET project of the U.S. Department of Defense.
- The Internet protocol suite is the conceptual model and set of communications protocols used in the Internet and similar computer networks.
- It is commonly known as TCP/IPbecause the foundational protocols in the suite are (TCP) and the (IP).
- During its development, versions of it were known as the Department of defense (DoD) model
- The Internet protocol suite provides end-to-end data communicationTransmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol.
TCP abrivation:
TCP/IP stands for Transmission control protocol /Internet protocol.
TCP uses:
- TCP is used extensively by many internet applications,
- including the World Wide Web (WWW), email, File Transfer Protocol, Secure Shell, peer-to-peer file sharing, and streaming media.
TCP /IP work:
- The architecture of the TCP/IP protocol suite has four layers that map loosely to the seven-layer Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) reference model.
- TCP/IP is an protocol suite for wide area networks (WANs)
- Was developed in the 1970s and 1980s by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD).
- TCP/IP is a routable protocol that is suitable for connecting dissimilar systems (such as Microsoft Windows and UNIX) in heterogeneous networks,
- it is the protocol of the worldwide network known as the Internet.
- Microsoft’s implementation of TCP/IP supports industry standards,
- TCP/IP is implemented for all Windows operating systems.
The TCP/IP model is a more concise framework, with 4 layers:
1.Network Access (or Link)
2.Internet
3.Transport (or Host-to-Host)
4.Application (or Process)..
7 layers of TCP /IP:
1.Physical (e.g. cable, RJ45)
2.Data Link (e.g. MAC, switches)
3.Network (e.g. IP, routers)
4.Transport (e.g. TCP, UDP, port numbers)
5.Session (e.g. Syn/Ack)
6.Presentation (e.g. encryption, ASCII, PNG, MIDI)
7.Application (e.g. SNMP, HTTP, FTP)
Disadvantages of TCP /IP:
- One of the main disadvantages of TCP/IP is that it isn’t built for LANs.
- Most administrators use TCP/IP on a LAN but it was originally designed for WAN connections.
- As such, using TCP/IP within a LAN can lead to inefficiency and bottlenecks.
- This is particularly true of small networks with limited bandwidth availability.
