Study Notes
OSI and TCP/IP Models
-
Physical Layer (Layer 1): Manages physical connections (cables, switches, and signal transmission – electrical, optical, or radio waves); examples include Ethernet cables and fiber optics.
-
Data Link Layer (Layer 2): Enables error-free data transfer within the same network; handles MAC addresses and framing; examples include switches and network interface cards (NICs).
-
Network Layer (Layer 3): Deals with routing, logical addressing (IP), and packet forwarding between networks; examples include routers and IP addresses.
-
Transport Layer (Layer 4): Ensures reliable data delivery; uses TCP (guaranteed delivery) or UDP (faster but unreliable); examples include TCP and UDP.
-
Session Layer (Layer 5): Manages communication sessions, including initiation, maintenance, and termination; examples include authentication protocols.
-
Presentation Layer (Layer 6): Translates data into a format understandable by the application (e.g., encryption, compression); examples include SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) and TLS (Transport Layer Security).
TCP/IP Model
-
Network Interface Layer: Combines OSI layers 1 and 2 (Physical and Data Link); handles MAC addressing, physical connections, and data framing.
-
Internet Layer: Equivalent to OSI layer 3 (Network); handles IP addressing and packet routing.
-
Transport Layer: Equivalent to OSI layer 4 (Transport); provides end-to-end communication using TCP/UDP protocols.
-
Application Layer: Combines OSI layers 5, 6, and 7 (Session, Presentation, and Application); handles user-facing applications and protocols like HTTP, FTP, and DNS.
Common Ports and Protocols
-
Port 80: HTTP (standard web browsing).
-
Port 443: HTTPS (secure web browsing).
-
Port 25: SMTP (sending emails).
-
Ports 20/21: FTP (file transfer protocol).
-
Port 53: DNS (domain name resolution).
OSI vs TCP/IP Layer Mapping
-
Layer 2 (Data Link): MAC-based network interface (switch).
-
Layer 3 (Network): IP-based network device (router).
-
Layer 1, 2: Physical and Data link for network interface card(NIC).
