TCP-IP Networking Model

One of the types of Network Model is TCP-IP Networking Model.

  • DOD (Department of Defense) took on the task to create the Second Open vendor-neutral Networking Model for Aiding the competition & Reducing the complexity of what would become known as TCP-IP (Transmission Control Protocol-Internet Protocol) Networking Model in 1974.

  • Other Networking Model & including the OSI Networking model failed because of a slower formal standardization process & TCP/IP had become a common choice by the end of the 1990s.

  • TCP-IP Model both Defines a large collection of protocols using the RFC & it also References them.

  • The Vendors that create the Hardware (like Ethernet/WLAN Card) & Software (like OS) implemented TCP-IP due to which when we turn on any new PC anywhere in the world they all works flawlessly.

  • TCP/IP Model (like all the other models) breaks the functions into small TCP-IP Networking Layers with each layer describing a category of functions that includes Standards & Protocols.
