Abstract
Computer and communication networks are arranged according to certain models. The network models are composed of layers. The number of layers depends on the used model. For the general Open System Interconnected (OSI) model, there are seven layers. In other models, the number of layers is reduced because more than one layer may be compressed or included in one layer. Thus, in other models, four or five layers may be used. In the following review, we consider a model of five layers which is called TCP/IP model. The five layers of the TCP/IP network are generally introduced and then each layer is studied in a separate section. The layer is defined, then its function is explained and the important protocols and processes are explained. An example of the protocols and processes is given when it is needed.
