    KEY DIFFERENCE

    •OSI has 7 layers whereas TCP/IP has 4 layers.

    •The OSI Model is a logical and conceptual model that defines network communication used by systems open to
    interconnection and communication with other systems. On the other hand, TCP/IP helps you to determine how a
    specific computer should be connected to the internet and how you can be transmitted between them.

    •OSI header is 5 bytes whereas TCP/IP header size is 20 bytes.

    •OSI refers to Open Systems Interconnection whereas TCP/IP refers to Transmission Control Protocol.

    •OSI follows a vertical approach whereas TCP/IP follows a horizontal approach.

    •OSI model, the transport layer, is only connection-oriented whereas the TCP/IP model is both connection-
    oriented and connectionless.

    •OSI model is developed by ISO (International Standard Organization), whereas TCP Model is developed by
    ARPANET (Advanced Research Project Agency Network).

    •OSI model helps you to standardize router, switch, motherboard, and other hardware whereas TCP/IP helps you
    to establish a connection between different types of computers.

    Similarities between OSI and TCP / IP Reference Models

    •Both the reference models are based upon layered architecture.

    •The layers in the models are compared with each other. The physical layer and the data link layer of the OSI
    model correspond to the link layer of the TCP/IP model. The network layers and the transport layers are the
    same in both the models. The session layer, the presentation layer and the application layer of the OSI model
    together form the application layer of the TCP/IP model.

    •In both the models, protocols are defined in a layer-wise manner.

    •In both models, data is divided into packets and each packet may take the individual route from the source to
    the destination.
    Differences between OSI and TCP / IP Reference Models

    •OSI model is a generic model that is based upon functionalities of each layer. TCP/IP model is a protocol-
    oriented standard.

    •OSI model distinguishes the three concepts, namely, services, interfaces, and protocols. TCP/IP does not
    have a clear distinction between these three.

    •OSI model gives guidelines on how communication needs to be done, while TCP/IP protocols layout
    standards on which the Internet was developed. So, TCP/IP is a more practical model.

    •In OSI, the model was developed first and then the protocols in each layer were developed. In the TCP/IP
    suite, the protocols were developed first and then the model was developed.

    •The OSI has seven layers while the TCP/IP has four layers.
    3.7-Network Services
    •File Sharing
    One of the reason which gave birth to networking was file sharing. File
    sharing enables its users to share their data with other users. User can
    upload the file to a specific server, which is accessible by all intended users.
    As an alternative, user can make its file shared on its own computer and
    provides access to intended users.
    Printer Sharing
    Printer sharing is the process of allowing multiple computers and
    devices connected to the same network to access one or more
    printers. Each node or device on the network can print to any
    shared printer and, to some extent, make changes to the printer
    settings, depending on the permissions set by the administrator
    for each user.
    Device Sharing
    Computer networks support many applications and services, such
    as access to the World Wide Web, digital video, digital audio, shared
    use of application and storage servers, printers, and fax machines,
    and use of email and instant messaging applications.
