CORRECT TEXT
Fill in the blank with the appropriate term. The ______________model is a description framework
for computer network protocols and is sometimes called the Internet Model or the DoD Model.

Answer: TCP/IP

Explanation:

The TCP/IP model is a description framework for computer network protocols. It describes a set of
general design guidelines and implementations of specific networking protocols to enable
computers to communicate over a network. TCP/IP provides end-to-end connectivity specifying
how data should be formatted, addressed, transmitted, routed and received at the destination.
Protocols exist for a variety of different types of communication services between computers. The
TCP/IP Model is sometimes called the Internet Model or the DoD Model. The TCP/IP model has
four unique layers as shown in the image. This layer architecture is often compared with the
seven-layer OSI Reference Model. The TCP/IP model and related protocols are maintained by the
Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF).
