Summary

DescriptionIP stack connections.svg	English: Operation of the Internet Protocol suite between two Internet hosts connected via two routers (top) and the corresponding layers of the IP suite in use at each hop (bottom). All hosts use the Internet Layer to route packets to next hop solely based on the IP address while only the hosts need the upper layers to send or receive application data. At the Transport Layer and Application Layer the hosts can be said to have virtual connections between them (if using a connection-oriented transport protocol), but with peer-to-peer, the other layers will only know about the next-hop neighbor. العربية: عمل حزمة بروتوكولات الإنترنت بين مُضيفين متصلين مع بشبكة تضمّ موجّهين كما يوَضح القسم الأعلى من الصورة ، أما القسم الأدنى فيظهر طبقات النموذج في كل مرحلة عبر للمسار. يستخدم كل المضيفون طبقة الإنترنت لتوجيه الرزم نحو الخطوة التالية بحسب عنوان بروتوكول الإنترنت، في حين أن الطبقات العليا لا تستهدم إلا من قبل المُضيفين لإرسال واستقبال مُعطيات التطبيقات. في طبقتي النقل والتطبيق، يمكن القول أن المُضيفان متثصلان بمسار افتراضي يربطهما (على افتراض استخدام بروتوكول يتطلب تهيئة اتصال في طبقة النقل)، أما بقية الطبقات فلا تملك معلومات إلا عن الجار الموجود على بعد خطوة واحدة فقط عبر المسار.
