    Chapter 7: Network Reference Models and Standards

    • Objectives: Describe the OSI and IEEE 802 networking models and summarize IEEE 802 networking standards.

    Introducing the OSI and IEEE 802 Networking Models

    • The Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) reference model, proposed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), provides a common framework for networking developers and students.
    • The OSI model isn't tied to a specific protocol suite and applies to most networking protocols.
    • It structures how data travels through a network with seven layers.

    Role of a Reference Model

    • A layered model, like the US Postal Service, simplifies complex processes.
    • Components within layers work independently, but together form the overall process.
    • Changes to one layer don't necessarily affect other layers.

    Role of a Reference Model (Continued)

    • Individual tasks in a layered process can be handled independently.
    • Modifications to one part of the process can be implemented without disrupting other parts.

    Structure of the OSI Model

    • A seven-layer model visually describes the flow of data.
    • Layers cooperate and interact, from lowest (Physical layer) to highest (Application layer).

    Structure of the OSI Model (Continued)

    • Each layer has well-defined functions for network data operation.
    • Layer functions interact with adjacent layers above and below it.
    • TCP/IP model is referenced for comparison.

    Structure of the OSI Model (Continued)

    • The diagram visually compares the OSI model with the TCP/IP model.
    • Each layer has its associated protocols (e.g. HTTP, TCP, IP).

    Structure of the OSI Model (Continued)

    • Network functions run in layers, up-and-down the protocol stack.
    • Data is divided into protocol data units (PDUs).
    • PDUs are passed between layers; some layers add headers to the PDU for formatting.
    • De-encapsulation strips headers at the receiving end, converting the PDU to the original data.

    Application Layer

    • The Application layer (Layer 7) provides interfaces (e.g., file sharing, messaging) for applications to access network services.
    • Client and server components exist in the Application layer.
    • Common protocols include HTTP, FTP, and SMTP.

    Presentation Layer

    • The Presentation layer (Layer 6) handles data formatting and translation (e.g. conversion of formats).
    • Handles conversion of incoming and outgoing data to/from the application layer.
    • Redirects requests that can't be handled locally.

    Session Layer

    • The Session layer (Layer 5) governs ongoing communications, known as a session.
    • It manages connections, communication setups, and communication teardown.
    • Functions include name lookup, user login/logoff, and synchronization of data streams (e.g., video and audio).

    Transport Layer

    • The Transport layer (Layer 4) manages data transfer.
    • It breaks larger data streams into smaller segments and ensures reliability through acknowledgments and resequencing.
    • Uses a maximum transmission unit (MTU) and reorders segments in the correct sequence
    • Important PDUs at this layer include segments and UDP datagrams.

    Transport Layer (Continued)

    • Data in the transport layer is divided into segments.
    • The Transport layer header carries port numbers and sequencing information.
    • Problems include large network segments causing performance degradation.

    Network Layer

    • The Network layer (Layer 3) handles logical addresses, mapping to physical addresses, and best path routing in an internetwork.
    • Routers operate in the Network Layer.
    • Issues include incorrect IP addresses, incorrect router configurations, and router errors.

    Network Layer (Continued)

    • Visual representation shows how Network layer PDUs are packet-based.
    • The Data Link layer (Layer 2) is the intermediary between the Network layer and the Physical layer.
    • Defines access to network medium (media access control).
    • Layer 2 frames consist of headers and trailers, including CRC for error checking.
    • The CRC value checks the data's integrity.
    • The Data Link layer (Layer 2) is responsible for frame error verification and processing.
    • Frame headers and trailers include source and destination addresses.
    • Hardware components including NICs and switches.

    Physical Layer

    • The Physical layer (Layer 1) converts bits into signals and vice versa.
    • Transmits signals based on the network medium (wire, fiber, wireless)
    • Details on connectors and the type of signals used are specified in this layer.
    • Includes components such as cables, connectors, repeaters, and hubs.

    Physical Layer (Continued)

    • Encoding processes represent binary data as physical signals (voltage, light pulses).
    • Components include cabling, connectors, repeaters, and hubs.
    • Problems can exist with incorrect media terminations, electromagnetic interference, and malfunctioning NICs/hubs.

    IEEE 802 Networking Standards

    • These standards ensure compatibility between different network interfaces and cabling systems.
    • Predate the OSI model and influence the lower layers of the model.
    • Specifications describe how network interface cards (NICs) access and transfer data.

    IEEE 802 Specifications (Continued)

    • IEEE 802 documents are numbered (e.g., 802.3, 802.11).
    • Each number often corresponds to technologies and their enhancements.

    IEEE 802 Specifications (Continued)

    • Different variations of Ethernet technologies are enumerated.

    IEEE 802 Extensions to the OSI Model

    • The two lowest OSI layers (Physical and Data Link) are further divided into sublayers (e.g., LLC and MAC) in IEEE 802 standards.
    • This separation ensures logical and media access control within the network.

    Chapter Summary

    • OSI reference model and IEEE Project 802 provide a framework for networking, classifying functions into layers and describing media access.
    • Different layers in OSI model have different functionalities.
    • IEEE 802 defines network interfaces and cabling standards.

    Chapter Summary (Continued)

    • The IEEE 802.2 standard specifies a Logical Link Control (LLC) and Media Access Control (MAC) sublayer, improving network standardization and compatibility.
