Q

What is the key difference in the number of layers between the OSI and TCP/IP models?

A

The OSI model has 7 layers, while the TCP/IP model has 4 layers. OSI is more detailed, but TCP/IP is simpler and focuses on real-world applications like the Internet.

Q

How are the OSI and TCP/IP models similar?

A

Both models break down network communication into layers, with each layer having a specific function. They help explain how data is transferred across networks, even though they have different numbers of layers.

Q

In what situations would you use the OSI model vs. the TCP/IP model?

A

The OSI model is mainly used for theoretical learning and understanding how networks work in detail, while the TCP/IP model is used in practical, real-world networking, especially for the Internet.
