Question

What layer does Protocol TIFF belong to in the DOD model? and in the OSI Model? Port#? What does it stand for and what does it do?

A) DOD Model: Presentation, OSI Model: Presentation, Port: 320, Stands for: Tagged Image File Format, Function: Image format at the presentation layer
B) DOD Model: Network, OSI Model: Network, Port: 432, Stands for: TIFF Network Protocol, Function: Networked TIFF communication
C) DOD Model: Transport, OSI Model: Transport, Port: 321, Stands for: Tagged Image Transport Protocol, Function: Transport layer for TIFF
D) DOD Model: Application, OSI Model: Application, Stands for: TIFF Application Protocol, Function: Application layer for TIFF

Answer 1

TIFF stands for Tagged Image File Format, which is a type of file format for storing images and does not correspond to a specific layer or port number in the OSI or DoD models.

Step-by-step explanation:

Protocol TIFF does not actually exist in the layers of the OSI or the DoD models as it is commonly understood. TIFF actually stands for Tagged Image File Format, which is a file format for storing images, including photographs and line art. It is not a network protocol and hence does not have a designated layer in the OSI Model or the DoD Model, nor does it have associated network port numbers. TIFF files are commonly used in scanning, faxing, word processing, and various other imaging applications. When TIFF files need to be transferred over a network, they use existing application layer protocols such as HTTP or FTP. Therefore, the correct context for discussing TIFF would typically be in reference to its use within applications rather than as a network communication protocol.

DOD Model: The Tagged Image Transport Protocol (TIFF) is associated with the Transport layer in the DOD (Department of Defense) model.

OSI Model: Similarly, in the OSI model, TIFF is associated with the Transport layer.

Port: The given port number, 321, is associated with TIFF in this context.

Stands for: TIFF stands for Tagged Image File Format.

Function: TIFF is a file format commonly used for storing raster graphics, and in the context mentioned, it is associated with the transport layer, indicating a protocol for transporting or handling TIFF images at the transport layer.
