Wide-Area Network (WAN)
WANs vs. LANs

TCP/IP (Transfer Control Protocol / Internet
Protocol)
TCP/IP family was developed for the ARPANET.
It was initially designed and operated to
interconnect the very large university and industrial
defense communities to share researchresources.
The TCP/IP suite of protocols has wide acceptance
today, especially in the commercial and industrial
community worldwide. These protocols are used on
both LANs and WANs. They are particularly
attractive for their Internet-working capabilities.
TCP/IP Stack vs. the OSI
Model
Application Layer

Application
Transport
Internet
Network Access
The application layer handles
high-level protocols, including
issues of representation,
encoding, and dialog control.
The TCP/IP model combines all
application-related issues into
one layer and ensures that this
data is properly packaged for the
next layer.

Network Access
The transport layer deals with
QoS issues of reliability, flow
control, and error correction.
Its protocols, UDP-TCP,
provides for network
communications.

Network Access
The purpose of the Internet
layer is to send source
datagrams from any network
on the internetwork and have
them arrive at the destination,
regardless of the path they
took to get there.

IP Network Addressing
Network.Host
They uniquely identify each device on an IP network.
Every host (computer, networking device, peripheral) must have a
unique address.
