Study Notes
OSI Model Overview
- The OSI (Open Systems Interconnection) Model is a set of rules defining how computer systems communicate over a network.
- Developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
- Consists of 7 layers, each with specific functions.
- Makes it easier for different devices and technologies to work together.
- Provides a clear structure for data transmission and troubleshooting.
- Widely used as a reference model for network systems.
OSI Model Layers
Layer 1: Physical Layer
- Lowest layer, handling the physical connection between devices.
- Transfers data as bits.
- Converts signals into 0s and 1s.
- Devices: Hub, Repeater, Modem, Cables.
Layer 2: Data Link Layer (DLL)
- Responsible for node-to-node data delivery, ensuring error-free transmission.
- Uses MAC addresses for transmission.
- Data unit: Frame.
- Devices: Switches, Bridges.
- Sublayers: Two.
- Encapsulates sender/receiver MAC addresses in the frame header.
- Uses ARP to find destination MAC address.
Layer 3: Network Layer
- Transmits data between hosts in different networks.
- Selects optimal paths (routing).
- Data unit: Packet.
- Devices: Routers, switches.
- Includes sender and receiver IP addresses in the packet header.
Layer 4: Transport Layer
- Provides services to the application layer.
- End-to-end delivery of complete messages.
- Ensures acknowledgment and retransmission if errors occur.
- Data unit: Segment.
- Protocols: TCP, UDP, NetBIOS, PPTP.
- Performs segmentation, flow and error control at sender's end.
- Adds source/destination port numbers.
- Performs sequencing and reassembly at receiver's end.
Layer 5: Session Layer
- Establishes, manages, and terminates connections between devices.
- Provides authentication and security.
- Protocols: NetBIOS, PPTP.
Layer 6: Presentation Layer
- Converts data from the application layer to a format compatible with the network (and vice versa).
- Handles data compression, encryption, etc.
Layer 7: Application Layer
- Provides network services to the end-user applications.
- Examples include email, web browsing.
