So I think you want to consider the advantages of the TCP/IP "model" as opposed to the OSI model. No problem. Just don't confuse the "model" with the "protocols". The OSI "protocols" are dead, they practically never existed. But the OSI "model" is alive and well and serves as a guideline for standardized, layered protocol architecture. With TCP/IP the inverse is true, the TCP/IP "protocols" are alive and well and here to stay, but the TCP/IP "model" is really just a description of how the protocols map to the OSI layers. The TCP/IP model has 4 layers, the "host-to-network" layer covers OSI layers 1/2 physical/datalink. Then IP is the OSI layer 3 network layer, TCP is the OSI layer 4 transport layer, and then there's the application layer.
As for some advantages of TCP/IP protocols themselves: 1) they are everywhere! It's the common worldwide standard now for networking. 2) interoperability: different types computers from different vendors can communicate seamlessly if they speak the same TCP/IP language. 3) Built-in intelligent mechanisms for error and flow control. 4) many others, just Google advantages of TCP/IP.
Not sure if this is what you were after, so before I go down the wrong rathole, add details to clarify the question and we'll get you more info.

Advantages Of Tcp

My question would be over what other protocol...
But try this on for size. TCP/IP ensures that your data gets to where you want it, something like UDP doesn't. Each packet of data can go through a different route so if for whatever reason a route gets blocked it can be sent by another path. TCP/IP can work on networks where there might be a long round trip time. So in other words it can send X amount of packets without the other side first saying it got each packet. In other words they can maintain a window of packets that are flying in both directions. TCP/IP can have packets come in, in random order and it can put them back in order before sending it up to the user.
There are other advantages, but this is some of the major ones.

I don't think there is such a thing as a model for a TCP/IP
(TCP - Transmission Control Protocol)
(IP - Internet Protocol)
Those are components which are being used on internet connection and there are no models or such.. hmm...

What are the uses of TCP?

I believe you are refearing to the 7 layer OSI Model
Its for troubleshooting and network problems. Based on what level of the model the problem is located will tell you what needs to be fixed to solve the problem.
example.......printer downstairs isnt printing.
layer1=physical.....is it pluged in?
awwww it just needed to be pluged in.
it can get more complicated then that, but its just for troubleshooting.
