Study Notes
- The Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model is a guideline for describing how data moves across a network.
- It's a reference used in IT communications and consists of 7 layers.
- Layer 1 (Physical Layer): deals with the cables, connectors, and signal transmission between parts of a network.
- Layer 2 (Data Link Layer): responsible for data link control protocols, such as Ethernet's Media Access Control (MAC) addresses and switching.
- Layer 3 (Network Layer): handles forwarding decisions, IP addresses, and data fragmentation between different networks.
- Layer 4 (Transport Layer): manages data delivery and protocols like TCP and UDP.
- Layer 5 (Session Layer): establishes, manages, and terminates communication sessions between devices.
- Layer 6 (Presentation Layer): deals with data encoding, character sets, and encryption for application data.
- Layer 7 (Application Layer): where users interact with applications, such as browsing the web and transferring files.
- The OSI model is a common language for IT professionals to discuss network communication.
- Each layer has specific protocols and functions that enable data to travel across the network.
- In Wireshark, a packet capture application, each frame is shown in the context of the corresponding OSI layer.- Mail communication on mail.google.com is happening at OSI Layer 7 or the application layer.
- Encryption of mail data occurs at OSI Layer 6, or the presentation layer, using SSL encryption.
- OSI Layer 5, or the session layer, links communication above the presentation and application layers to the traffic below the network layer.
- Communication between workstations and email servers uses TCP/IP, with transmission controlled at the transport layer (OSI Layer 4).
- IP encapsulation in the network layer (OSI Layer 3) allows for communication using IP addresses.
- All data, including TCP and IP traffic, is encapsulated within Ethernet frames for transmission over the network via the data link layer (OSI Layer 2).
- Physical signals enable sending of frames from one device to another at the physical layer (OSI Layer 1).
- Using the OSI model helps IT professionals understand and communicate about network applications and troubleshooting.
