Study Notes
Layered Tasks
- Sending a letter through the post office involves various tasks, similar to network communications.
- Network communication requires sender, receiver, and a carrier for data transmission.
OSI Model
- The Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model is an ISO standard defining network communication layers.
- It was introduced in the late 1970s to standardize communication between different systems.
- The OSI model consists of seven layers, each responsible for specific tasks.
Layers in the OSI Model
- Physical Layer: Responsible for transmitting bits over physical media, encoding, and establishing physical connections.
- Data Link Layer: Combines bits into frames, performs physical addressing, error detection, and link establishment.
- Network Layer: Handles end-to-end delivery, logical addressing, path determination, packet forwarding, and filtering.
- Transport Layer: Breaks data into segments, ensures reliable delivery, manages sequencing, acknowledgments, retransmissions, and flow control.
- Session Layer: Establishes, manages, and terminates sessions between hosts, offering simplex, half-duplex, and full-duplex communication modes.
- Presentation Layer: Formats data for presentation, handles code formatting, encryption, and compression.
- Application Layer: Provides services to users, interacting with network applications such as email and web browsers.
TCP/IP Protocol Suite
- The TCP/IP protocol suite is a layered architecture for network communication.
- It has five layers: physical/data link, network, transport, application (similar to OSI).
- The TCP/IP model often uses physical and data link layers together.
Addressing
- Four levels of addresses are used in TCP/IP networks:
- Physical Address: Unique identifier for a network device (MAC address).
- Logical Address: IP address identifying a network host.
- Port Address: Unique identifier for a process running on a host.
- Specific Address: Application-specific identifier within a process.
