Since TCP was developed before the OSI model, the layers in the TCP/IP protocol model do not exactly match those in the OSI model. The important fact is the hierarchical ordering of protocols. The TCP/IP model is made up of four layers: application layer, transport layer, Internet layer and network access layer. These will be discussed below. 1 Network Access Layer The network access layer contains protocols that provide access to a communication network. At this layer, systems are interfaced to a variety of networks.
The Internet is composed of multiple physical networks interconnected by routers. Each router has direct connections to two or more networks, while a host usually connects directly 28 INTERNET SECURITY to one physical network. However, it is possible to have a multihomed host connected directly to multiple network. Packet delivery through a network can be managed at any layer in the OSI stack model. The physical layer is governed by the Media Access Control (MAC) address; the data link layer includes the Logical Link Control (LLC); and the network layer is where most routing takes place.
An Internet address is currently a 32-bit address which can uniquely define a host connected to the Internet. • Port address: The data sequences need the IP address and the physical address to move data from a source to the destination host. In fact, delivery of a packet to a host or router requires two levels of addresses, logical and physical. Computers are devices that can run multiple processes at the same time. For example, computer A communicates with computer B using TELNET. At the same time, computer A can communicate with computer C using File Transfer Protocol (FTP).
