4 Ethernet/IP

EtherNet/IP™ is an Industrial Ethernet protocol supported by the Open Device Net Vendors Association (ODVA) standards organization and closely follows the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model. It is based on Ethernet standards and uses standard Ethernet physical, data link, network, and transport layers. It utilizes the Common Industrial Protocol (CIP™) for its upper layers, which provides the framework for implementing all layers of the OSI model. CIP defines a complete suite of network functionality from the physical implementation through the application or user interface layer.
