==;Purpose==:

The template is not a navigation tool, but presents information.

This template demonstrates the architectural structure of the [[Internet protocol suite]]. (This model is conceptually similar to the [[OSI model]], but there are substantial and important differences between these models.) A group of the prominent protocols are chosen as examples but this template is not meant to list every protocol in each layer. For convenience, each layer contains a link to an appropriate category page that lists all protocol articles on Wikipedia.

This table conveys the architectural structure of the protocol suite used in the design of the Internet. It illustrates the concept of layering in the [[Internet Protocol Suite]]. It also provides an overview of the most prominent protocols in the [[Internet Protocol Suite]], but the table is not intended to be a navigation template or include many protocols. Each layer contains a link to an appropriate category page that lists all protocols covered on Wikipedia.

==Position of the protocols==

RFC 1122 and subsequent documents define the layers in the Internet protocol suite. There are legitimate debates about the assignment of protocols to the layers, because layering or any strict encapsulation sequencing are not principal design criteria for TCP/IP.

;Definition of model:

==Editing==

The presentation of this model is based on accepted Internet standards. RFC 1122 and subsequent documents define the layering in the [[TCP/IP model]].

When adding new protocols, please include only protocols that are in widespread use today, and that are official standards. Again, a goal for the scope of content was not to include all protocols and turn this into a navigation template, but only a few to illustrate the concept of layering in TCP/IP. Please do not alter the names of the layers, as these names are the official standardized names of the layers in the original English-language reference documentation.
