Study Notes
OSI Model - Introduction
- The OSI Model helps understand network functions, web browser operation, internet protocol, and MAC addresses.
- Learning the OSI Model aids troubleshooting and communication with technical personnel.
- The model is a framework to implement protocols in layers with control passed between layers.
OSI Model Layers
- The model conceptually divides network architecture into 7 layers:
- Application (Layer 7) - Handles user applications, like a web browser
- Presentation (Layer 6) - Handles data format conversions (e.g., image formats)
- Session (Layer 5) - Manages connections and how they initiate and close.
- Transport (Layer 4) - Handles communication between applications, using protocols like TCP or UDP.
- Network (Layer 3) - Uses logical addresses (e.g., IP addresses) and deals with routing of data.
- Data Link (Layer 2) - Manages physical addressing schemes, like MAC addresses in ethernet networks
- Physical (Layer 1) - Responsible for ultimate bit transmission over the network, using electrical voltages, radio frequencies, or infrared/light signals.
OSI Model - Network Architecture
- The OSI model, shown in figure 1.17, defines a networking framework for protocol implementation.
- The layers have a logical progression, with lower layers handling signals and routing, and higher layers handling network requests and responses.
- Layer 1,Physical Layer, is accountable for transmitting digital data bits between devices.
- Layer 2, Data Link Layer, checks for transmission errors and packages bits into frames.
- Layer 3, Network Layer, handles routing via logical addresses (like IP addresses) and translating to physical addresses.
- Layer 4, Transport Layer, delivers data across connections, using protocols like TCP.
- Layer 5, Session Layer, is responsible for how network connections are initiated or terminated.
- Layer 6, Presentation Layer, is the simplest layer in the OSI model, handles data format conversions and encryption/decryption.
- Layer 7, Application Layer, provides network services to end-user applications.
OSI Model - Example (Web Browser)
- A web browser interacts with a web server to retrieve a webpage.
- The browser interacts with the application layer (HTTP) to request a webpage.
- The request travels through Presentation, Session, Transport, Network, Data Link, and Physical layers to reach the server.
- Similar communication occurs for responses received and displayed by the browser.
