OSI Model
The OSI Model is a theoretical, seven-layered model of how networks work.
The Open Systems Interconnect Model (the OSI Model) is a theoretical model
of networking that organizes network functions into seven layers (physical
layer, datalink layer, network layer, transport layer, session layer, presentation
layer and application layer) and specifies the communication interfaces
between the OSI Model's layers and between network endpoints utilizing an
OSI Model-based protocol suite.
The OSI Model is a way of thinking about how networks 'work'
THEORY: The OSI Model is a theoretical model
The OSI Model is not a technology.
The OSI Model is not a protocol.
The OSI Model is not a program or software.

Transmission control protocol (TCP) is a network communication protocol designed to send

data packets over the Internet.
TCP is a transport layer protocol in the OSI layer and is used to create a connection between
remote computers by transporting and ensuring the delivery of messages over supporting
networks and the Internet.

Transmission Control Protocol is one of the most used protocols in digital network
communications and is part of the Internet protocol suite, commonly known as the TCP/IP
suite. Primarily, TCP ensures end-to-end delivery of data between distinct nodes. TCP works in
collaboration with Internet Protocol, which defines the logical location of the remote node,
whereas TCP transports and ensures that the data is delivered to the correct destination.
Before transmitting data, TCP creates a connection between the source and destination node
and keeps it live until the communication is active. TCP breaks large data into smaller packets
and also ensures that the data integrity is intact once it is reassembled at the destination node.
