Network services
In the world of networking, two fundamental models stand out: the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) model and the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model. These models serve as frameworks for understanding how network protocols work together to enable communication. The TCP/IP model is more commonly implemented, while the OSI model provides a conceptual reference.
TCP/IP network services
The TCP/IP suite is a collection of protocols that form the basis of the internet and modern networking. It offers various essential network services that facilitate communication across interconnected devices. Here are the key components:
- IP: IP addresses and routes data packets across networks. It assigns unique IP addresses to devices, acting as their digital identities. IPv4 and IPv6 are the primary versions. IPv4, with its 32-bit address space, has been widely used, but IPv6’s larger 128-bit address space addresses the address exhaustion...
