OSI (Open System Interconnection) TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol)
1. OSI is a generic, protocol independent standard, acting as a communication gateway between the network and end user. 1. TCP/IP model is based on standard protocols around which the Internet has developed. It is a communication protocol, which allows connection of hosts over a network.
2. In OSI model the transport layer guarantees,the delivery of packets. 2. In TCP/IP model the transport layer does not guarantees delivery of packets. Still the TCP/IP model is more reliable.
3. Follows vertical approach. 3. Follows horizontal approach.
4. OSI model has a separate Presentation layer and Session layer. 4. TCP/IP does not have a separate Presentation layer or Session layer.
5. OSI is a reference model around which the networks are built. Generally it is used as a guidance tool. 5. TCP/IP model is, in a way implementation of the OSI model.
6. Network layer of OSI model provides both,connection oriented and connectionless service. 6. The Network layer in TCP/IP model provides connectionless service.
7. OSI model has a problem of fitting the,protocols into the model. 7. TCP/IP model does not fit any protocol.
8. Protocols are hidden in OSI model and are,easily replaced as the technology changes. 8. In TCP/IP replacing protocol is not easy.
9. OSI model defines services, interfaces and,protocols very clearly and makes clear distinction between them. It is,protocol independent. 9. In TCP/IP, services, interfaces and,protocols are not clearly separated. It is also protocol dependent.
10. It has 7 layers 10. It has 4 layers
