TCP IP Model

TCP IP Model
The TCP/IP is protocol that is used in order to maintain a standard in the field of communication. there are lots of networks in the internet which has to be accessed by all over the globe hence if a proper standard is not set, then the two different networks will wont be able to communicate with each other and thus the concept of internet will be meaningless. Hence the standard has been defined which is named after two important protocols TCP(Transmission Control Protocol) and IP(Internet Protocol). The TCP/IP model consists of four different layers which are link layer, Internet layer, Transport Layer and Application Layer .
Link Layer Delivers data through ethernet and also in this layer error detection is done.
Internet Layer manages packets and defines the route of the packet from source to destination.
Transport Layer manages the transfer of data through connection oriented and connectionless transfer protocols.
Application Layer refers to various services like http, ftp, telnet etc.
