How do the layers of the internet model correlate to the layers of the OSI model?

The TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) protocol suite was developed in the early 1970s on the other hand OSI model was developed in 1978s.
The internet model has 4 layers : 4.Application, 3.Transport, 2.Internet, and 1.Network Interface Layer.

On the other hand, The OSI model defines a networking framework to implement protocols in seven layers: 7.Application 6. Presentation 5.Session 4.Transport
3.Network 2.Data Link and 1.Physical layer.

The OSI networking model correlates more accurately to the actual process of communicating over a network,

The functions of all the processes involved in the top 3 OSI model layers (7.Application, 6.Presentation, 5.Session) are combined into the TCP/IP model 4.Application layer (layer 4).

The function of 4.Transport 3.Network layers in OSI model is more likely as the 3rd and 2nd layers( 3.Transport, 2.Internet,) in TCP/IP model.

The functions of the OSI (2nd layer)Data Link and (1st layer) Physical layers are combined into the Network Interface layer (layer 1) of the TCP/IP model.

In the OSI model, the Data Link layer has two sublayers: The Logical Link Control (LLC) sublayer, which is responsible for error correction and flow control, and the Media Access Control (MAC) sublayer, which controls access to network media and uses the MAC address (the physical or hardware address) of the network interface circuit (NIC).

So it can be say that both model are corelared with each other. One model is extention of another model.
