Computer Network Model: It is the structure and model or design which is used to perform communication between two networks.
OSI Reference Model
TCP/IP Model
- OSI: It stands for ‘Open System Interconnection’ . It is the general purpose communication model in the computer network earlier days.
  - It is an ‘open source’ structure which means that it can be openly used for any environment and network easily for communication purpose.
  - It is a seven layered structured architecture.
- TCP/IP: It stands for ‘Transmission Control Protocol/ Internet Protocol’.
  
  It is a four layered architecture model. Different layer is responsible for different task.
Layered Architecture:
- Various computer network models like OSI,TCP/IP work on the layered architecture, which means that there will be various layers of the model.
- There are different layers of a single model will be responsible for various different work and tasks.

Let us take an example.

In Layered Network Architecture, an entity of layer N uses only services of layer N-1.
