Study Notes

Why Should We Learn the OSI Model?

  • Learning the OSI Model helps understand functions, timing, and how web browsers, internet protocols, ARP, and MAC addresses work.
  • Understanding the model simplifies troubleshooting, communication with other technicians, and the discussion of technical issues.
  • The model makes learning easier and better enables troubleshooting computer problems.

OSI Model

  • The OSI model is a networking framework.
  • It's used to implement protocols in layers.
  • Control passes from one layer to the next.
  • The model is primarily used as a teaching tool.
  • Conceptually, it divides computer network architecture into seven layers (logical progression).
  • Lower layers handle electric signals, binary data, and routing across networks.
  • Higher layers deal with network requests, responses, data representation, and network protocols from a user's perspective.
  • Many popular network technologies reflect the layered design of the OSI model.

Physical Layer (Layer 1)

  • This layer transmits digital data between devices over a network medium.
  • It's responsible for the ultimate transmission of data.
  • Examples include Ethernet cables and Token Ring networks.
  • Includes hubs, repeaters, and cable connectors.
  • Data transmission uses signaling types supported: electric voltages, radio frequencies, or pulses of infrared or ordinary light.
  • Checks for transmission errors.
  • Packages data bits into frames.
  • Manages physical addressing (MAC addresses).
  • Controls access to the physical medium.
  • Divided into two sublayers: Media Access Control (MAC) and Logical Link Control (LLC).

Network Layer (Layer 3)

  • Adds routing above the Data Link layer.
  • Examines source and destination addresses in frames.
  • Formats data into packets for the Transport layer.
  • Manages logical addresses (e.g., IP addresses).
  • Maps logical addresses to physical addresses using ARP.

Transport Layer (Layer 4)

  • Delivers data across network connections.
  • TCP is a common example of a transport protocol.
  • Supports optional capabilities like error recovery, flow control, and retransmission.

Session Layer (Layer 5)

  • Manages the sequence and flow of events in network connections.
  • Supports multiple connections over individual networks that can be dynamically created.

Presentation Layer (Layer 6)

  • Simplest function layer in the OSI model.
  • Handles syntax processing of message data.
  • Performs format conversions, encryption, and decryption.

Application Layer (Layer 7)

  • Provides network services to end-user applications.
  • Contains protocols like HTTP for website requests.
  • Provides data to and from the Presentation layer.
