My InfoTech Journal: Decoding the Networking Enigma: OSI vs. TCP/IP Reference Models The OSI (Open Systems Interconnection) Reference Model and the TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) Reference Model: The OSI Reference Model and the TCP/IP Reference Model are both conceptual frameworks used to understand and standardize how different networking protocols and technologies interact. Here are some areas of comparison: 1. Number of Layers: OSI Model : It consists of seven layers: Physical, Data Link, Network, Transport, Session, Presentation, and TCP/IP Model : It has four layers: Network Interface, Internet, Transport, and Application. 2. L ayer Functionality: OSI Model : Tends to be more comprehensive and abstract, defining each layer's functions independently. TCP/IP Model : Reflects the actual implementation of the Internet and focuses on how protocols are used in practice. 3. Adoption / Use: OSI Model : Less commonly used in practice, but it is still valuab...
Fortifying the Digital Frontier: Unmasking Network Security Risks and Solutions It has been a while since my last post. I have been busy with work and learning Microsoft PowerBI and Power Automate. These are very good tools for dashboard creation and automation. Very easy to learn and use. Kudos to Microsoft for coming up with these great tools! Fast forward, I have recently enrolled in a Master of Information Systems (MIS) program via Distance Education. I am excited to be an online distance education student. It has been a very long time since I was a student. I know there will be adjustments needed from me… to be diligent, to be disciplined in balancing my work-studies-life, and to persevere to achieve my goal of getting my Master’s Degree. I have decided to share my research in MyInfoTech Journal hoping these information will also be able to help those researching for similar topics. Today, I am researching on the Network Layer and its Secu...
