5.1 Introduction to Computer Networks
TCP/IP Protocol
[Transmission Control Protocol/ Internet Protocol]
TCP/IP was developed by Department of Defense in USA. It is used on the largest network,
the internet but is available in all the small and big computers.
It provides communication between two or more computer systems used for communication

What is OSI MODEL?
The International Standards Organization (ISO) based in Geneva, developed standards for international and national data communications.
In the early 1970s, ISO developed a standard model of a data communication system.
The Open System Interconnection (OSI) model describes how data is sent and received over a network.
This model breaks down data transmission over a series of seven layers. Each layer has a responsibility to perform specific tasks.
