TCP/IP model and OSI model both are conceptual models that characterizes and standardizes the internal functions of a communication system by partitioning it into abstraction layers. However , the TCP/IP model is fully designed model for internet and similar networks and hence also known as the INTERNET model.
| OSI Model | TCP/IP Model |
|---|---|
| OSI Model groups communication functions into seven abstraction layers. | TCP/IP model groups communication functions into four abstraction layers . |
| The three top layers - the application layer, the presentation layer and the session layer are separated . | In TCP/IP model these three layers are not distinguished separately where it is just the application layer. |
| Networks are not usually built around the OSI model as it is merely used as a guidance tool. | TCP/IP is considered to be a more credible model- This is mainly due to the fact because TCP/IP protocols are the standards around which the internet was developed therefore it mainly gains creditability due to this reason. |
| The OSI model is a "generic, protocol- independent standard.“ In this model, Protocols do not fit well into the model. | TCP and IP protocols fit well in the model. |
| OSI Layers | TCP/IP Layers |
