A network layer model is simply a way of thinking about network protocols. It categorizes the features of a network protocol into layers that depend on the features of the lower layers. Thus it's useful to talk about the data link layer, which is responsible for moving the raw data, depending on the physical layer, which makes the network hardware accessible to upper layers.
The OSI model does not define specific protocols. It provides a model for designing network protocols that are strictly organized into layers. Protocols that reach across layers are frowned upon.
The TCP/IP model differs from the OSI model in three important ways:
Here is a table of differences.

See http://superuser.com/a/424439/52492/ Also IP was worked out in 1973, OSI model published in 1984.
