The OSI Model and The TCP/IP Protocol Suite

The document discusses the OSI model and TCP/IP protocol suite. It describes the seven layers of the OSI model and their functions. It also explains that the TCP/IP protocol suite consists of five layers that correspond to the first four layers of the OSI model, while combining the top three OSI layers into a single application layer. The document further discusses the different types of addresses used in networking, including physical, logical, and port addresses, and how data is encapsulated as it passes through the various layers.

2.1 The OSI Model


Established in 1947, the International Standards Organization (ISO) is a
multinational body dedicated to worldwide agreement on international
standards. An ISO standard that covers all aspects of network
communications is the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model. It
was first introduced in the late 1970s.
The topics discussed in this section include:
Layered Architecture
Peer-to-Peer Processes
Encapsulation

TCP/IP Protocol Suite

Note:
ISO is the organization.
OSI is the model

2.3 TCP/IP Protocol Suite


The TCP/IP protocol suite is made of five layers: physical, data link,
network, transport, and application. The first four layers provide
physical standards, network interface, internetworking, and transport
functions that correspond to the first four layers of the OSI model. The
three topmost layers in the OSI model, however, are represented in
TCP/IP by a single layer called the application layer.
The topics discussed in this section include:
Physical and Data Link Layers
Network Layer
Transport Layer
Application Layer

2.4 Addressing
Three different levels of addresses are used in an internet using the
TCP/IP protocols: physical (link) address, logical (IP) address, and
port address.
The topics discussed in this section include:
Physical Address
Logical Address
Port Address

Example 1

In Figure 2.18 a node with physical address 10 sends


a frame to a node with physical address 87. The two
nodes are connected by a link. At the data link level
this frame contains physical (link) addresses in the
header. These are the only addresses needed. The rest
of the header contains other information needed at
this level. The trailer usually contains extra bits
needed for error detection.

Example 2

As we will see in Chapter 3, most local area networks


use a 48-bit (6 bytes) physical address written as 12
hexadecimal digits, with every 2 bytes separated by a
colon as shown below:
07:01:02:01:2C:4B
A 6-byte (12 hexadecimal digits) physical address.

Example 3

In Figure 2.19 we want to send data from a node with network


address A and physical address 10, located on one LAN, to a
node with a network address P and physical address 95, located
on another LAN. Because the two devices are located on
different networks, we cannot use link addresses only; the link
addresses have only local jurisdiction. What we need here are
universal addresses that can pass through the LAN
boundaries. The network (logical) addresses have this
characteristic.

Example 3

(Continued)

The packet at the network layer contains the logical addresses,


which remain the same from the original source to the final
destination (A and P, respectively, in the figure). They will not
change when we go from network to network. However, the
physical addresses will change as the packet moves from one
network to another. The boxes labeled routers are
internetworking devices, which we will discuss in Chapter 3.

Example 4

As we will see in Chapter 4, an Internet address (in


IPv4) is 32 bits in length, normally written as four
decimal numbers, with each number representing 1
byte. The numbers are separated by a dot. Below is an
example of such an address.

Example 5

Figure 2.20 shows an example of transport layer


communication. Data coming from the upperlayers
have port addresses j and k ( j is the address of the
sending process, and k is the address of the receiving
process). Since the data size is larger than the network
layer can handle, the data are split into two packets,
each packet retaining the service-point addresses ( j
and k). Then in the network layer, network addresses
(A and P) are added to each packet.

Example 5

(Continued)

The packets can travel on different paths and arrive at


the destination either in order or out of order. The two
packets are delivered to the destination transport
layer, which is responsible for removing the network
layer headers and combining the two pieces of data
for delivery to the upper layers.

address is a 16-bit address represented by one decimal
number as shown below.

2.5 IP Versions
IP became the official protocol for the Internet in 1983. As the Internet
has evolved, so has IP. There have been six versions since its inception.
We look at the latter three versions here.
The topics discussed in this section include:
Version 4
Version 5
Version 6
