Explanation
The TCP/IP model consolidates the OSI model's seven layers into four. The top three OSI layers - Session (Layer 5), Presentation (Layer 6), and Application (Layer 7) - are all merged into the single Application layer in the TCP/IP model. This layer handles functions like session management, data formatting/encryption, and user-facing protocols (HTTP, FTP, DNS, SMTP, etc.). The other TCP/IP layers are Transport (OSI Layer 4), Internet (OSI Layers 3), and Network Interface (OSI Layers 1–2).
