hard📝 Application Q15 of 15
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Analyze TCP/IP design goals
TCP/IP was created to be practical and efficient for real-world internet communication.Step 2: Understand layer merging rationale
It merges OSI's Application, Presentation, and Session layers into one Application layer to simplify the model.Step 3: Eliminate incorrect reasons
TCP/IP does not ignore functions, nor increase complexity for security, nor limit to wired networks.Final Answer:
TCP/IP was designed for simplicity and practical use, merging related functions -> Option AQuick Check:
Simplicity and practicality explain TCP/IP layers [OK]
Quick Trick: TCP/IP merges layers for practical simplicity [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES- Thinking TCP/IP ignores networking functions
- Believing TCP/IP is more complex than OSI
- Assuming TCP/IP only supports wired networks
