Study Notes
The OSI Model
- The OSI model consists of 7 layers: Physical, Data Link, Network, Transport, Session, Presentation, and Application
Layer 1 - The Physical Layer
- Responsible for all physical properties of the network
Layer 4 - The Transport Layer
- Responsible for the actual mechanism of:
- End-to-end delivery
- Logical addressing (e.g. IPv4, IPv6, IPX, APPLE TALK)
- Routing (choosing the best path to the destination) (e.g. RIP, OSPF, IS-IS, EIGRP)
Layer 6 - The Presentation Layer
- Responsible for presenting data in the proper format
Layer 2 - The Data Link Layer
- Responsible for:
- Framing
- Error detection and correction
- Flow control
- Media access control
Other Layers
- Layer 7 - The Application Layer: responsible for protocols such as Email (SMTP, POP3), Web browsers (HTTP), FTP, and Telnet
- Layer 5 - The Session Layer: responsible for establishing, managing, and terminating connections between applications
- Layer 3 - The Network Layer: responsible for routing data between networks
