A Comparison of TCP/IP Transport Layer Protocol Characteristics and their Applications

OSI (Open Systems Interconnection) referentni model osigurava stručnjacima i proizvođačima temelj na kojem proučavaju mrežu i sve njezine elemente i procese kroz taj sedmoslojni apstraktni model. Na TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) modelu zasniva se internetska arhitektura koja je opisana kroz svoja četiri sloja. Posebno je opisan drugi sloj ovog modela, internet sloj. Analiza ovog sloja pokazala je koje se funkcije i procesi izvršavaju, kako djeluje enkapsulacija podataka te koji protokoli obilježavaju procese ovog sloja. Opisani su kontrolni protokoli, protokoli razlučivanja adrese, protokoli usmjeravanja i internet protokol sa svoje dvije verzije.OSI (Open Systems Interconnection) reference model provides experts and manufacturers the basis on which they study the network and all its elements and processes through that seven-layer abstract model. On the TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) model is based the Internet architecture which is described through its four layers. Particularly described is the second layer of the model, the Internet layer. The analysis of this layer revealed which functions and processes perform, how the encapsulation of data works and which protocols characterize the processes of this layer. Control protocols, address resolution protocols, routing protocols and Internet protocol with its two versions are described
