Study Notes
Protocol Layering
- Protocols are sets of rules for effective communication between senders, receivers, and devices.
- Protocol layering divides complex tasks into simpler, manageable functions.
- Each layer receives services from the lower layer and provides services to the upper layer.
- Two principles of protocol layering:
- Layers in bidirectional communication perform opposite tasks (e.g. sending and receiving).
- The objects beneath each layer at both ends must be identical.
OSI Model
- Established by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) for open systems communication.
- Reduces complexity by breaking networking functions into layers.
- The OSI model has seven layers:
- Layers 1-4 (Physical, Data Link, Network, Transport) focus on data flow.
- Layers 5-7 (Session, Presentation, Application) focus on application services.
- Data is encapsulated as it moves down the layers, with headers added at each layer.
Benefits of the OSI Model
- Enhances understanding of networking as a whole.
- Simplifies troubleshooting by defining clear terms and functions.
- Facilitates comparisons of different network technologies and vendor products.
OSI Layers
- Physical Layer: Manages physical transmission and characteristics (e.g., voltage, data rates).
- Data Link Layer: Provides reliable communication, error handling, and flow control. Breaks data into frames.
- Network Layer: Handles routing, logical addressing, and fragmentation of packets.
- Transport Layer: Ensures error-free data transmission, maintains sequencing, and manages connections.
- Session Layer: Controls dialogues between systems, manages sessions, and handles logon processes.
- Presentation Layer: Defines data format, handles encryption and compression.
- Application Layer: Interfaces with application programs, supports functions like file transfer and email.
TCP/IP Protocol Suite
- TCP/IP is a hierarchical protocol suite used for Internet communication, consisting of interactive modules.
- Originally defined as four layers, now commonly represented in a five-layer model.
- Illustrates logical connections:
- End-to-End: Application, transport, and network layers work for overall communication.
- Hop-to-Hop: Data-link and physical layers function on a more localized network segment.
Addressing
- Communication between layers involves source and destination addresses.
- The physical layer does not require addressing as the data unit at this layer is a bit.
