OSI Layers - ICT Module 4

It is the user interface that internet users interact with to send or receive data through email, online games, peer to peer file transfer, and other applications.

It establishes a “mechanism for opening, closing and managing a session between end-user application processes and responses”.

One device transmits at a time until all the information has been completely sent.

It seeks for the best-known path to route information to reach its destination similar to searching for an address on a GPS.

When the device can transmit and receive information simultaneously, such as in phone conversation.

NOT only defines how data is sent, but also provides validation and firewall security.

It is a layer that ensures that a transmission occurs without any errors.

It is also known as the physical address of a computer 48-bit address burnt onto the network interface card (NIC)

It consists of the physical components in a Local Area Network (LAN) such as networking hardware and Ethernet cables.

Is an abstract description for layered communications and computer network protocol design.

There are (7) seven layers of OSI model.

OSI model utilizes the TCP/IP protocol.

Network layer defines how data is sent, but also provides validation and firewall security.

Transport layer seeks for the best-known path to route information to reach its destination similar to searching for an address on a GPS.

Physical layer ensures that a transmission occurs without any errors.

It is a surface mounted box used in a commercial and industrial building to cleanly attach network cables.

This ensures that a transmission occurs without any errors.

This layer translates the commands received from the application layer into universal, well-known networking formats.

This layer establishes a “mechanism for opening, closing and managing a session between end-user application processes and responses” in order for a packet to reach its destination.

This OSI layer defines how data is sent, but also provides validation and firewall security.

This type of connector is designed to make secure and reliable input/output connections.

It will transmit at a time until all the information has been completely sent.

Device that takes turns transmitting such as occurs when speaking through walkie talkies.

This is used when the device can transmit and receive information simultaneously.

It is an example of common protocols associated with the application layer.

These virtual IP addressing help packets navigate a network to reach their destination using IPv4 or IPv6 protocols.
