tcp/ip layers


LAYER
FUNCTIONALITY
Application
  • Data that is sent by the user.
            EX: Any script, file, form data etc.,
Transport
  • Data from application layer is broken down into segments.
  • Each segment is named with sequence id so that they are received and appended in the right order in the receiver end. 
  • The transport header is added to each segment in this layer, which is having the destination and source address with the port number.
Internet
  • In this layer Internet header is added to segment, which contains source and destination IP address and routing information [How to reach receiver]
Network
  • In this layer Network header is added to segment, which contains source and destination physical address [mac address, ethernet]
  • In this layer Network trailer is also added to the segment, which contains error checking methods.

NOTE: Each layer adds a header and an optional trailer [Encapsulation] to the information from the preceding layer in the sender side and vice versa in the receiver side.
