About Network Models: OSI and TCP/IP
GoConqr OriginalWhat this unit covers
This unit sits in the Networking Foundations strand of Networks and telecommunications. It compares two ways of describing how data moves across a network: the seven-layer OSI model and the TCP/IP model. The resources were made by GoConqr users, and they range from short flashcard decks to full chapter quizzes.
Where to begin
Start with the notes on Same-Layer and Adjacent-Layer Interactions. They explain how two computers use a protocol, an agreed set of rules, to talk to the same layer on another machine. Then open the mind map U1. OSI 7 Layer Reference Model, which walks from the Application layer down to the Physical layer.
Next, move to the TCP/IP side. The quiz TCP/IP and the DoD Model asks about the four layers of the Department of Defense model and how they line up with OSI layers.
Encapsulation and layer names
The mind map Five Steps of Data Encapsulation: TCP/IP shows how application data gains headers as it moves down the stack. The Network Layers & Protocols Quiz then asks you to match each layer with its unit of data, such as bits, frame, packet and segment.
Using quizzes and maps together
- Read a mind map to get the shape of a layer.
- Take a quiz on the same layer, such as 1.2 OSI Layers Quiz, which asks which layer TCP and UDP belong to.
- Note what you missed and return to the map.
- Use flashcard decks such as Common Port Numbers to fix details in memory.
For exam-style practice, try DIKTA ICND1 Ch 5, which explains why error recovery, flow control and segmentation belong to TCP, or the quiz Cisco CCENT.
Make it your own
Once you have worked through a few resources, build a mind map or flashcard set in your own words and see which layers still feel shaky.
Frequently asked questions
Which resource should I open first?
Begin with the notes on Same-Layer and Adjacent-Layer Interactions, which explain how a layer talks to the same layer on another computer. After that, the mind map U1. OSI 7 Layer Reference Model gives a quick tour of all seven layers before you try a quiz.
Which quiz tests the layers directly?
The 1.2 OSI Layers Quiz asks which layer TCP and UDP sit at, and the Network Layers & Protocols Quiz asks you to match each layer with its data unit. Both are short and suit a first check of what you know.
What do the mind maps cover?
There are over 200 mind maps. They cover the OSI layers and their functions, TCP/IP networks, the Internet Protocol, IP address rules, transport protocols and the five steps of data encapsulation. Some follow textbook chapters, so you can pick one that matches your reading.
Are these resources free, and who made them?
Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself. A free account also saves your quiz scores and lets you create your own quizzes, maps, flashcards and notes.
Which exams do the resources relate to?
Some listed resources mention CCNA and CCENT, and there are quizzes such as Cisco CCENT and CCENT Ch.2 Study Exam. Most of the material is at university or professional level, with a smaller share suited to school students.
What if I cannot find a topic I need?
Try searching related terms such as ports, ICMP, IPv6 or the physical layer, as separate decks and notes exist for each. If a topic is still missing, you can make your own mind map, flashcards or notes and share them with others.
