    Difference Between OSI Model and

    TCP/IP Model
    Data communication is a process or act in which we can send or
    receive data. For data communication two models are available. We
    will discuss these two models in this article and also see the
    differences between these two articles.
     OSI Model
     TCP/IP Model
    OSI Model
    OSI stands for Open Systems Interconnection. It has 7 layers Physical
    layer, Data Link layer, Network layer, Transport layer, Session layer,
    Presentation layer, and Application layer. Each layer performs its task
    independently. It was developed in 1984 by the International
    Organization for Standardization (ISO).

    OSI Model
    Advantages
     Both connection-oriented services and connectionless services are
    supported.
     It is quite flexible.
     All the layers work independently.
    Disadvantages
     Setting up a model is a challenging task.
     Sometimes, it becomes difficult to fit a new protocol into this model.
     It is only used as a reference model.

    TCP/IP Model
    TCP/IP stands for Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. It has
    4 layers named as Physical layer, Network layer, Transport layer, and
    Application layer. It also can be used as a communications protocol in
    a private computer network. It was designed by Vint Cerf and Bob
    Kahn in the 1970s.

    Advantages
     Many Routing protocols are supported.
     It is highly scalable and uses a client-server architecture.
     It is lightweight.
    Disadvantages
     Little difficult to set up.
     Delivery of packets is not guaranteed by the transport layer.
     Vulnerable to a synchronization attack.

    Similarities between OSI Model and TCP/IP


    Model
    OSI and TCP/IP both are logical models. One of the main similarities
    between the OSI and TCP/IP models is that they both describe how
    information is transmitted between two devices across a network. Both
    models define a set of layers. Each layer performs a specific set of
    functions to enable the transmission of data.
    Another similarity between the two models is that they both use the
    concept of encapsulation, in which data is packaged into a series of
    headers and trailers that contain information about the data being
    transmitted and how it should be handled by the network.
    For more information, you can refer Similarities between TCP/IP model
    and the OSI model article.
