Comparison between TCP/IP and OSI models is critical because protocols that make up the TCP IP protocol suite can also be described in terms of the OSI reference model. The network access layer and application layer of the TCP IP models are further divided, and the OSI model describes discrete functions that must occur at […]

A layered architecture is a logical model that aids communication between interconnecting layers. We can map the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) layer model with the Open System Interconnection (OSI) model. Both Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) and OSI models share the same physical layer although the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) distributes the functions of Link Control Protocol (LCP) and […]
In enterprise networks, dedicated servers are usually used to provide DHCP, DNS, TFTP, and FTP services. The clients are not generally on the same subnet as those servers. The clients used to broadcast messages to locate the servers and get services. Now, look at the figure below. Laptop0 is attempting to acquire an IPv4 address […]
All application processes on the server use unique port numbers. The network administrator can use default ports (e.g., 80 for HTTP, 21 for FTP) or configure custom ports manually, ensuring no conflicts. An active server application requiring an open port on the server means the transport layer accepts and processes segments addressed to that port […]
