    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.
