Provide an example of the lack of standardization with the TCP/IP model.

What will be an ideal response?


It's important to appreciate that the TCP/IP model doesn't have a standards body to define the layers. Because of this, there are a surprising number of variations on the TCP/IP model.
 
A great example of this lack of standardization is the Link layer. Without a standardizing body, there is no agreement on the name. While "Link layer" is extremely common, the term "Network Interface layer" is equally popular. A good tech knows both of these terms and understands that they are interchangeable. Notice also that, unlike the OSI model, the TCP/IP model does not identify each layer with a number.
