!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] is a [Communication Layers] and conceptual division of methods in the layered [architecture] of [protocols] in the [network] stack.
[{$pagename}] is an [Communication Layer] that specifies the shared [protocols] and interface methods used by hosts in a [telecommunications] [Network].
[{$pagename}] abstraction is used in both of the standard models of computer networking: the [Internet Protocol] Suite ([TCP]/[IP]) and the [Open Systems Interconnection] model ([OSI-Model]).
Although both models use the same term for their respective highest level layer, the detailed definitions and purposes are different.
!! [Internet Protocol Suite] [{$pagename}]
[{$pagename}] contains the communications [protocols] and interface methods used in process-to-process communications across an [Internet Protocol] ([IP]) computer [network].
The [{$pagename}] only standardizes communication and depends upon the underlying [Transport Layer] protocols to establish host-to-host data transfer channels and manage the data exchange in a [client-server] or [peer-to-peer] networking model.
The [TCP]/[IP] [{$pagename}] does not describe specific rules or data formats that applications must consider when communicating.
!! [OSI-Model] [{$pagename}]
In the [OSI-Model] the definition of the [{$pagename}] is narrower in scope. The [OSI-Model] defines the [{$pagename}] as the [User Interface] responsible for displaying received information to the user.
