Q1. Explain the difference between OSI model and
TCP/IP model?
Sol:
Sol.
Addressing Modes– The addressing mode specifies a rule for
interpreting or modifying the address field of the instruction before the
operand is actually executed.
Physical Addressing mode: The physical address is also known as the
MAC (Media Access Control) address or link address. It is the address of a
node which is defined by its LAN or WAN. It is used by the data link layer and
is the lowest level of addresses. The size of a physical address is 48 bits (6
bytes).
Below is a diagram representing the working mechanism of a physical
address:
Advantages:
Physical addresses (MAC addresses) uniquely identify devices on a
network.
Physical packet enables efficient routing of data packets to specific
devices.
Disadvantages:
Physical addressing mode lacks flexibility, making it difficult to adopt
to changing network requirements.
Duplicate physical addresses can cause conflicts and disrupt network
communication.
Logical addressing mode: Logical address also referred to as IP (Internet
Protocol) address is a universal addressing system. It is used in the Network
layer. There are two types of IP addresses – IPv4 and IPv6.
Below is a diagram representing the working mechanism of Logical address:
Advantages:
Logical addresses can easily change or reassigned as needed.
Logical addressing mode simplifies network management and routing.
Disadvantages:
Logical addresses can still experience conflicts if not properly
managed.
Logical addressing mode relies on routing protocols to function
correctly.

Twisted Pair Cable: Twisted pair cable is type of copper cable used for
transmitting data and voice communication. They consist of two insulated
copper wires twisted together to form a pair.
Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP): UTP consists of two insulated copper
wires twisted around one another. It is used for telephonic applications.
Shielded Twisted Pair (STP): This type of cable consists of a special jacket
(a copper braid covering or a foil shield) to block external interference. It is
used in fast-data-rate Ethernet and in voice and data channels of telephone
lines.
Optical Fiber Cable: Optical Fiber Cable uses the concept of refraction of
light through a core made up of glass or plastic. It is used for the
transmission of large volumes of data. The cable can be unidirectional or
bidirectional.
Microwaves:
It is a line-of-sight transmission i.e. the sending and receiving antennas need
to be properly aligned with each other. The distance covered by the signal is
directly proportional to the height of the antenna. Frequency Range:1GHz –
300GHz. Micro waves are majorly used for mobile phone communication and
television distribution.
Infrared:
Infrared waves are used for very short distance communication. They cannot
penetrate through obstacles. This prevents interference between systems.
Frequency Range:300GHz – 400THz. It is used in TV remotes, wireless
mouse, keyboard, printer, etc.
