Network Models
Levels like application and device controls took place over the
communication network. Those are usually bounded by structural model and
framework wherein each part of it has its own work to do for completing the
resource sharing or exchange. The ISO has created a standard way or models
of how the things should communicate within the network.
Upon completion of this module, the students should be able to:
1. Differentiate Protocol Model and a Reference Model
2. Define the TCP/IP Model and The OSI Model
3. Discuss the function of the Layers of the OSI Model and TCP/IP Model
4. Compare the OSI Model with the TCP/IP Model
Network Models
Network Models Defined
A Network Model is a set of network layers and how they interact. The
following are the two most important and well-known network models:
1. OSI Model
OSI stands for Open Systems Interconnect.
a. This is a system that breaks down network function.
b. This is the most popular type of internetwork reference model.
c. Consist of seven layers.
2. TCP/IP Model
TCP/IP stands for Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol.
a. Also known as the DOD (Department of Defense) Model.
b. This is the protocol that is used in the internet.
Course Module
The OSI Model
As mentioned above, the OSI model is a network model widely used today.
This section discusses OSI in detail.
Layers of the OSI Model
The OSI Model has the following layers:
1. Application Layer
2. Presentation Layer
3. Session Layer
4. Transport Layer
5. Network Layer
6. Data-link Layer
7. Physical Layer
Below is a diagram showing the OSI Model and its equivalent layer:
3. Session Layer(Layer 5)

The TCP/IP Model
This section discusses TCP/IP in detail.
Layers of the TCP/IP Model
1. Application
2. Transport
3. Internet
4. Network Access
c. Packet
Internetwork Layer PDU
d. Frame
Network Access Layer PDU
e. Bits
A PDU used when physically transmitting data over the medium
Glossary
International Organization for Standardization (ISO): This is a network of
national standards institutes from 140 countries working in partnership with
international organizations, governments, industry, business and consumer
representatives. A bridge between public and private sectors.
Course Module
Protocol model: This provides a model that is closely equivalent to the
structure of a certain protocol.
Network Model: This is a set of network layers and how they interact.
OSI (Open Systems Interconnect): This is a system that breaks down
network function. This is the most popular type of internetwork reference
model.
Protocol Data Unit (PDU): The form that a piece of data takes at any layer at
each stage of the process, a PDU has a different name to reflect its new
appearance.
Reference model: This provides a common reference for maintaining
consistency within all types of network protocols and services. It is not
intended to be an implementation specification
TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol): Also known
as the DOD (Department of Defense) Model. This is the protocol that is used
in the internet.
