Study Notes
Network Models
- Two primary network models: OSI Model and TCP/IP Model (Internet model).
- OSI Model developed by the Open System Interconnection Subcommittee in 1984; it consists of seven layers.
- Layers of the OSI Model:
- Physical Layer
- Data Link Layer
- Network Layer
- Transport Layer
- Session Layer
- Presentation Layer
- Application Layer
- OSI Model is foundational for understanding networking but less widely used today.
TCP/IP Model
- TCP/IP Model is older than OSI but has become the dominant model for current hardware and software.
- Also known as the Transfer Control Protocol/Internet Protocol model, consists of five layers:
- Physical Layer
- Data Link Layer
- Network Layer
- Transport Layer
- Application Layer
- It consolidates the top three OSI layers into one single layer.
- Facilitates connections between different independent networks, forming the global Internet.
OSI Model Architecture
- Physical Layer: Involves the physical medium and technologies for data transmission (e.g., fiber-optic cables, Bluetooth, NFC).
-
Data Link Layer: Manages data frames and includes two sub-layers:
- Media Access Control (MAC)
- Logical Link Control (LLC)
- Focuses on flow and error control; Ethernet is a standard at this layer.
- Network Layer: Handles routing, forwarding, and addressing across networks; key protocols are IPv4 and IPv6.
-
Transport Layer: Ensures correct order and integrity of data packets using protocols like:
- Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) for connection-based communication.
- User Datagram Protocol (UDP) for connectionless and lossy transmission.
- Session Layer: Manages the coordination between applications during a session (e.g., NFS and SMB protocols).
- Presentation Layer: Deals with syntax of data formats (e.g., HTML, JSON, CSV).
- Application Layer: Concerned with communication methods for applications (e.g., HTTPS for browsers, POP3 and SMTP for email).
Communication Process in OSI Model
- Data moves down the OSI layers, with each layer adding headers and addressing information.
- At the receiving end, data ascends through the layers, each processing its specific headings until it reaches the application layer.
Alternatives to OSI Model
- Previous networking models included SPX/IPX and NetBIOS.
- Main alternative today is the TCP/IP Model, which aligns closely with the Internet's architecture and protocols.
- OSI Model remains popular for educational purposes to describe holistic networking operations, but TCP/IP is more commonly applied in practice.
