In class you have been introduced to how network designers organize protocols through layers. Subsequently, you were also introduced to the Internet protocol stack, which consists of five layers: the physical, link, network, transport, and application layers, as a typical example of this layered design. Additionally, it was also brought to your attention that the Internet protocol is not the only protocol stack available. A seven layered protocol stack called the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model is also available. In this assignment, you're required to identify the missing and/or merged layers between the two models and discuss their functionalities.

In class you have been introduced to how network designers organize protocols through layers.
Subsequently, you were also introduced to the Internet protocol stack, which consists of five layers:
the physical, link, network, transport, and application layers, as a typical example of this layered
design. Additionally, it was also brought to your attention that the Internet protocol is not the only
protocol stack available. A seven layered protocol stack called the Open Systems
Interconnection (OSI) model is also available. In this assignment, you're required to identify the
missing and/or merged layers between the two models and discuss their functionalities.
