Study Notes

Network protocols define a common format and rules for exchanging messages between devices.
The ISO - OSI reference model guides vendors and developers in creating interoperable digital communication products and software programs.
The layered reference model divides the communication process into specific groups of actions at each layer to ensure efficiency.
Benefits of using a layered model include providing a common language, enabling competition between vendors, and preventing changes in one layer from affecting others.
The ISO - OSI reference model, developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), covers all aspects of network communications and was introduced in the late 1970s.
The Application layer provides users with interfaces for network access and offers applications like email services, file transfers, remote terminals, and web services.
The Presentation layer performs functions like translation, encryption, and compression to ensure data compatibility and security.
The Session layer manages dialog control and synchronization during communication processes.
The Data Link layer is responsible for ensuring successful frame transmission between network hops, using physical addressing (MAC address) and error control mechanisms.
The Physical layer interfaces with raw transmission media, converting digital/analog bits into electrical or optical signals.
Standard bodies like EIA, ITU-T, and ANSI define physical layer specifications for network communication.
Different layers in the ISO - OSI model use various types of addresses for communication, such as port addresses at the Transport Layer, logical IP addresses at the Network Layer, and physical MAC addresses at the Data Link Layer.
