Study Notes
OSI Model Overview
- The OSI Model consists of seven layers, each with specific functions that facilitate network communication.
Transport Layer Functions
- Responsible for data segmentation and reassembly.
- Manages end-to-end flow control to ensure efficient data transmission.
- Guarantees reliable message delivery through error detection and recovery methods.
Physical Layer Purpose
- Coordinates the standards and rules for transmitting raw bits over physical media.
- Handles the physical connection between devices and the medium.
Data Link Layer Specifications
- Identifies physical network devices, ensuring they can be addressed and accessed.
- Controls how messages are transmitted across the network to maintain data integrity.
Network Layer Role
- Routes data packets between different networks, ensuring they reach their destination.
Session Layer Tasks
- Establishes, manages, and terminates connections between applications on different devices.
Presentation Layer Functions
- Encrypts and compresses data for secure transmission.
- Specifies the data format, such as file types (e.g., JPEG, MPEG).
Application Layer Functions
- Integrates network services into the host operating system for users.
- Facilitates communication between network clients and servers, enabling application interaction.
Physical Layer Functions
- Responsible for moving data across physical network cables, converting digital signals to physical signals.
Data Link Layer Sublayers
- Comprises two main sublayers:
- MAC (Media Access Control) manages device access to the local area network.
- LLC (Logical Link Control) handles communication and data packets between devices.
MAC Sublayer Functions
- Ensures devices can access the LAN efficiently, managing how data is sent and received.
- Assigns a unique hardware address to each device for identification and communication.
Reliable Message Delivery
- The Transport layer is designated for ensuring that messages are delivered reliably across the network.
TCP/IP and OSI Model Layer Matching
- TCP/IP model layers correspond to OSI model layers:
- Host-to-Host matches with Transport.
- Internet matches with Network.
- Network Access matches with Data Link.
- Application matches with Application and Presentation.
Networking Functions and OSI Model Layer Associations
- Application layer: HTTP provides web services.
- Presentation layer: ASCII supports data formatting.
- Session layer: Manages Session ID numbers for connections.
- Transport layer: Uses port numbers for communication.
- Network layer: Routers direct data packets.
- Data Link layer: Switches facilitate local network communication.
- Physical layer: Modems convert digital signals for transmission.
Encapsulation and Decapsulation
- In TCP/IP communications, data is encapsulated at the sending host and decapsulated at the receiving host:
- Segments are associated with the Transport layer.
- Packets correspond to the Network layer.
- Frames belong to the Data Link layer.
- Bits are related to the Physical layer.
