Note:

Tape Archive (TAR) is a compression format used in the transfer of files. TAR is a UNIX utility.

BIN is an abbreviation for the word binary. A binary (.bin) file is a file containing information in binary form.

Because Cisco IOS Software was based originally on a UNIX platform, IOS images are .bin or .tar files.
