Difference between OSI model and TCP/IP model.

-


             OSI

                 TCP/IP

1. OSI is a generic, protocol independent standard, acting as a communication gateway between the network and end User.

1. TCP/IP model is based on standard Protocol around which the Internet has developed. It is a communication protocol, which allows connections of hosts over a network.

2. In OSI model the transport layer Guarantees the delivery of packets.

2. In TCP/IP model the transport layer does not guarantee delivery of packets. Still the TCP/IP model is more reliable.

3. Follows vertical approach.

3. Follows horizontal approach.

4. OSI is a reference model around which the networks are built.  Generally, it is used as a guidance tool.

4. TCP/IP model is, in a way implementation of the OSI model.

5. Network layer of OSI model provides both connection oriented and connectionless service.

5. The Network layer in TCP/IP model provides connectionless service.

6. OSI model has a problem of fitting the protocols into model.

6. TCP/IP model does not fit any protocol.

What is the process and project matrics? Explain 3 P's in software engineering.

-
Solution:-  a) Process Metrics These are the metrics pertaining to the Process Quality. They measure efficiency and effectiveness of various processes. b) Project Metrics These are the metrics pertaining to the Project Quality. They measure defects, cost, schedule, productivity and estimation of various project resources and deliverables.found in acceptance)/ total no of testing defects) x 100 THE THREE Ps:- The People • People factor is very much important in the process of software development. • There are following areas for software people like, recruiting, selection performance management, training, compensation, career development, organization and work design, and team/culture development. • Organizations achieve high levels of maturity in the people management area. The Product • Before a project can be planned, product objectives and scope should be established, alternative solutions should be considered and technical and management constraints should be identified. • With...

Explain general format of Software Requirement Specification (SRS).

-
 Solution:- Software requirements specification (SRS) is a document that is created when a detailed description of all aspects of the software to be built must be specified before the project is to commence.  It is important to note that a formal SRS is not always written. In fact, there are many instances in which effort expended on an SRS might be better spent in other software engineering activities.  However, when software is to be developed by a third party, when a lack of specification would create severe business issues, or when a system is extremely complex or business critical, an SRS may be justified.  Karl Wiegers has developed a worthwhile template that can serve as a guideline for those who must create a complete SRS.  A topic outline follows: 1. Introduction 1.1. Purpose1.2. Document Conventions 1.3. Intended Audience and Reading Suggestions 1.4. Project Scope 1.5. References 2. Overall Description 2.1 Product Perspective 2.2 Product Features 2.3 U...

Difference between IPv4 and IPv6.

-
                               IPv4                                   IPv6 1. Source and Destination addresses are 32 bits in length. 1. Source and Destination addresses are 128 bits in length. 2. IPv4 addresses are binary numbers represented in decimals. 2. IPv6 addresses are binary numbers represented in hexadecimals. 3. IPsec supports in optional. 3. IPsec is inbuilt. 4. Security is dependent on application. 4. IPsec is inbuilt in IPv6 protocol. 5. No packet flow identification. 5. Packet flow identification is available within the IPv6 header using flow label field. 6. Header includes a checksum. 6. Header does not include a checksum. 7. Encryption and Aut...
