TCPIP

  • Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol
  • basically a set of protocols organised in different layers


the 5 layers one is the one tested

  • Benefits of Layering

    • Modularity
      • Each layer performs a specific function, such as routing, encryption, or data formatting.
      • Makes networks easier to design, understand, and maintain.
    • Interoperability
      • Standardised functions and interfaces allow devices from different vendors to communicate.
      • Devices can work together as long as they follow the same protocols.
    • Flexibility and Abstraction
      • Changes can be made to one layer without affecting the others.
      • Example: changing a cable or encryption method does not require redesigning the whole network.
    • Simplified Troubleshooting
      • Problems can be identified by checking each layer separately.
      • Example: engineers can determine whether an issue is caused by transmission, formatting, or routing.
    • Standardisation
      • The OSI model provides a common framework and language for networking.
  • Memory Shortcut
