On page 9, RFC793 describes the place of TCP in the protocol hierarchy as follows:

   +------+ +-----+ +-----+       +-----+
   |Telnet| | FTP | |Voice|  ...  |     |  Application Level
   +------+ +-----+ +-----+       +-----+
         |   |         |             |
        +-----+     +-----+       +-----+
        | TCP |     | RTP |  ...  |     |  Host Level
        +-----+     +-----+       +-----+
           |           |             |
        +-------------------------------+
        |    Internet Protocol & ICMP   |  Gateway Level
        +-------------------------------+
                       |
          +---------------------------+
          |   Local Network Protocol  |    Network Level
          +---------------------------+

Does this reference model have a name?

On a side note: Eight years later, RFC1122 introduced the distinction between Application/Transport/Internet/Link Layer.

That's the OSI model – Jimmy_A – 2017-07-14T14:54:21.993

Or more specifically it's the protocol hierarchy model. http://www.e-cartouche.ch/content_reg/cartouche/formats/en/html/Internet_TCP_IP.html
