OSI was developed as a theoretical model, while TCP/IP was developed based on existing networking technology.

OSI is a reference model, while TCP/IP is an implementation used for the internet.

TCP/IP offers more straightforward interoperability than OSI owing to its practical design and use.

TCP/IP is the model that the current Internet is based upon, not OSI.

TCP/IP is more likely to have functions that cross layer boundaries compared to OSI.

OSI assigns unique functions to each layer, while TCP/IP layers have overlapping functions.

OSI is a vertical approach while TCP/IP uses a horizontal approach.

OSI was standardized by ISO, whereas TCP/IP standards come from the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF).

OSI uses different names for layers, for example, 'Data Link' and 'Network,' while TCP/IP can refer to both as simply 'Internet Layer'.

TCP/IP layers are more flexible and adaptable to changes compared to the rigid structure of OSI.

OSI does not define protocols per se, while TCP/IP includes specific examples like TCP and IP.

Both models use encapsulation, but TCP/IP can have less overhead due to fewer headers.

OSI explicitly defines error reporting in different layers, while TCP/IP does not separate these concerns as clearly.

OSI has 7 layers, TCP/IP has 4 or 5 layers depending on interpretation.
