to handle tasks related to session establishment, maintenance, and termination. e
operating system kernel manages protocols such as TCP and IP around which the
TCP/IP architecture is constructed. e combination of network drivers, network
adapters, and physical media in Figure 1.18 matches the network interface layer in the
TCP/IP architecture.
Earlier, we briey discussed the network architecture, which shows how data com-
munication is carried out between applications over a network. e network archi-
tecture models the data communication process. In later chapters, more detailed
discussion about each layer of the network architecture will be given.
