TCP/IP MODEL

 

HISTORY OF TCP/IP MODEL

THE TCP/IP MODEL WAS DEVELOPED BY VINT CERF AND BOB KAHN IN THE 1970S. THEY WERE BOTH WORKING AT THE DEFENSE ADVANCED RESEARCH PROJECTS AGENCY (DARPA) AT THE TIME.

Vint Cerf And Bob Kahn

CERF AND KAHN WERE TASKED WITH DEVELOPING A NEW NETWORK PROTOCOL THAT WOULD BE MORE RELIABLE AND EFFICIENT THAN THE EXISTING PROTOCOLS. THEY CAME UP WITH THE IDEA OF USING A LAYERED APPROACH, WHICH WOULD ALLOW EACH LAYER TO FOCUS ON A SPECIFIC TASK. THIS LED TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE TCP/IP MODEL, WHICH IS STILL THE BASIS FOR HOW DATA IS TRANSMITTED OVER THE INTERNET TODAY.

CERF AND KAHN ARE OFTEN REFERRED TO AS THE "FATHERS OF THE INTERNET" FOR THEIR WORK ON THE TCP/IP MODEL. THEY WERE INDUCTED INTO THE NATIONAL INVENTORS HALL OF FAME IN 2004 FOR THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE INTERNET.

HERE ARE SOME OTHER NOTABLE PEOPLE WHO CONTRIBUTED TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE TCP/IP MODEL:



JON POSTEL: POSTEL WAS THE FIRST CHAIRMAN OF THE INTERNET ENGINEERING TASK FORCE (IETF), WHICH IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MAINTAINING AND EVOLVING THE TCP/IP PROTOCOL SUITE.

MIKE CORRIGAN: CORRIGAN WAS ONE OF THE FIRST PEOPLE TO IMPLEMENT THE TCP/IP PROTOCOL ON A REAL NETWORK. HE DID THIS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, LOS ANGELES (UCLA) IN THE EARLY 1970S.

STEVE CROCKER


STEVE CROCKER: CROCKER WAS ONE OF THE FIRST PEOPLE TO PROPOSE THE IDEA OF USING A LAYERED APPROACH TO NETWORK PROTOCOLS. HE ALSO DEVELOPED THE DOMAIN NAME SYSTEM (DNS), WHICH IS USED TO TRANSLATE DOMAIN NAMES INTO IP ADDRESSES.

TCP/IP MODEL

THE TCP/IP MODEL IS A CONCEPTUAL MODEL THAT DESCRIBES HOW DATA IS TRANSMITTED OVER THE INTERNET. IT IS A FOUR-LAYER MODEL THAT DIVIDES NETWORK COMMUNICATIONS INTO FOUR DISTINCT CATEGORIES OR LAYERS. THE MODEL IS OFTEN REFERRED TO AS THE TCP/IP STACK.

THE FOUR LAYERS OF THE TCP/IP MODEL ARE:

APPLICATION LAYER:

THIS LAYER IS CLOSEST TO THE END USER. IT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR PROVIDING SERVICES TO APPLICATIONS THAT NEED TO COMMUNICATE OVER THE NETWORK. SOME OF THE PROTOCOLS THAT OPERATE AT THIS LAYER INCLUDE HTTP, FTP, AND SMTP.

TRANSPORT LAYER:

THIS LAYER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR PROVIDING RELIABLE END-TO-END COMMUNICATION BETWEEN APPLICATIONS. IT DOES THIS BY BREAKING THE DATA UP INTO SMALLER UNITS CALLED SEGMENTS AND THEN PROVIDING A MECHANISM FOR ENSURING THAT THE SEGMENTS ARE DELIVERED CORRECTLY. SOME OF THE PROTOCOLS THAT OPERATE AT THIS LAYER INCLUDE TCP AND UDP.

INTERNET LAYER: 

THIS LAYER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ROUTING DATA PACKETS ACROSS THE NETWORK. IT DOES THIS BY ASSIGNING EACH PACKET A UNIQUE ADDRESS THAT IDENTIFIES THE DESTINATION OF THE PACKET. SOME OF THE PROTOCOLS THAT OPERATE AT THIS LAYER INCLUDE IP AND ICMP.

LINK LAYER: 

THIS LAYER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR PROVIDING THE PHYSICAL CONNECTION BETWEEN DEVICES ON THE NETWORK. IT DOES THIS BY DEFINING THE WAY THAT DATA IS TRANSMITTED OVER A PHYSICAL MEDIUM, SUCH AS AN ETHERNET CABLE OR A WIRELESS SIGNAL. SOME OF THE PROTOCOLS THAT OPERATE AT THIS LAYER INCLUDE ETHERNET AND PPP.

THE TCP/IP MODEL IS A HIERARCHICAL MODEL, WHICH MEANS THAT EACH LAYER RELIES ON THE LAYERS BELOW IT TO PERFORM ITS FUNCTION. FOR EXAMPLE, THE TRANSPORT LAYER CANNOT FUNCTION WITHOUT THE INTERNET LAYER, AND THE INTERNET LAYER CANNOT FUNCTION WITHOUT THE LINK LAYER.

THE TCP/IP MODEL IS A VERY IMPORTANT MODEL FOR UNDERSTANDING HOW DATA IS TRANSMITTED OVER THE INTERNET. IT IS ALSO A VERY IMPORTANT MODEL FOR UNDERSTANDING HOW DIFFERENT NETWORK PROTOCOLS WORK TOGETHER TO PROVIDE RELIABLE AND EFFICIENT COMMUNICATION.

Internet Protocol (IP) Address

  IP ADDRESS IT IS A UNIQUE ADDRESS THAT WE CAN ASSIGN TO DEVICE .SO THAT DEVICECAN COMMUNICATE WITH EACH OTHER. WE CANNAOT ASSIGN SAME IP ADDRESS IN ANY TWO DEVICES IN OUR NETWORK. IF WE WILL DO THIS THEN IT WILL BE  CAUSE A CONFLICT ERROR. TWO VERSION OF IP ADDRESS: 1: IPV4 ; 2: IPV6 ; IPV4 32 BITS AND IPV6 128 BITS. AN IP ADDRESS, OR INTERNET PROTOCOL ADDRESS, IS A SERIES OF NUMBERS THAT IDENTIFIES ANY DEVICE ON A NETWORK.  COMPUTERS USE IP ADDRESSES TO COMMUNICATE WITH EACH OTHER BOTH OVER THE INTERNET AS WELL AS ON OTHER NETWORKS. TO FIND THE IP ADDRESS CLASS WE NEED TO LOOK AT THE FIRST DIGIT OF THE IP ADDRESS. AND BY LOOKING AT THE FIRST DIGIT, WE CAN GUESS THE SUBNET MASK TO WHICH CLASS IT BELONGS. CLASS A IP ADDRESS SUBNET MASK 255.0.0.0 CLASS B IP ADDRESS SUBNET MASK  255.255.0.0  CLASS C IP ADDRESS SUBNET MASK 255.255.255.0 IANA TABLE IP RANGES                 IANA   ( Internet Assigned Numbers Au...
