Study Notes
Why Should We Learn the OSI Model?
- Learning the OSI model helps understand functions, web browser operation, internet protocol, ARP, and MAC addresses.
- Learning the OSI model simplifies troubleshooting computer problems and communication with technical personnel.
OSI Model
- The OSI model is a networking framework for implementing protocols in layers.
- It's a valuable teaching tool, logically dividing computer network architecture into 7 layers.
- Lower layers handle electrical signals, binary data, and network routing.
- Higher layers manage network requests, responses, data representation, and user-facing protocols.
- Many popular network technologies today mirror the layered structure of the OSI model.
Physical Layer
- Layer 1 is responsible for the ultimate transmission of digital data bits.
- It transmits data between devices using physical media (cables, radio frequencies, etc.).
- Typical devices at this layer include hubs, repeaters, cables, and connectors.
Data Link Layer
- This layer handles physical addressing (MAC addresses) and checks for transmission errors.
- It groups bits into frames and manages device access to the physical medium.
- It comprises two sub-layers: Media Access Control (MAC) and Logical Link Control (LLC).
Network Layer
- Layer 3 handles routing of data packets.
- It uses logical addresses (e.g., IP addresses) and translates them to physical addresses (e.g., MAC addresses).
- It's responsible for moving packets between source and destination.
Transport Layer
- Layer 4 delivers data across network connections using protocols like TCP.
- TCP manages error recovery, flow control, and retransmission of data.
Session Layer
- Layer 5 manages the connection establishment and termination between applications.
- It supports multiple connections dynamically over individual networks.
Presentation Layer
- Layer 6 simplifies message data by converting formats, handling encryption/decryption.
- Deals with converting data so applications can understand it.
Application Layer
- Layer 7 provides network services to end-user applications (e.g., web browsers).
- Protocols like HTTP operate at this layer, managing application-level interactions.
