GSLC · Question #225
Which of the following statements are true about TCP/IP model? Each correct answer represents a complete solution. Choose all that apply.
The correct answer is A. It is consists of various protocols present in each layer. B. It provides end-to-end connectivity specifying how data should be formatted, addressed, transmitted, D. It describes a set of general design guidelines and implementations of specific networking protocols. The TCP/IP model is a four-layer networking framework that defines protocols and design guidelines for end-to-end communication. Choice C is incorrect because TCP/IP has four layers, not five.

Why each option
The TCP/IP model is a four-layer networking framework that defines protocols and design guidelines for end-to-end communication. Choice C is incorrect because TCP/IP has four layers, not five.
TCP/IP is composed of specific protocols at each of its four layers - for example, HTTP and DNS at the Application layer, TCP and UDP at the Transport layer, and IP at the Internet layer.
TCP/IP explicitly defines end-to-end connectivity by specifying how data is formatted, addressed, transmitted, routed, and received across interconnected networks, which is the model's core purpose.
The TCP/IP model is standardly described as having four layers (Application, Transport, Internet, Network Access) - five layers is an alternative academic variant, and the OSI model has seven layers, not TCP/IP.
The TCP/IP model is defined precisely as a set of general design guidelines and implementations of specific networking protocols, enabling interoperability across diverse hardware and software platforms.
