What is the OSI model?

The OSI model is a conceptual framework for understanding how networks communicate. It divides network communication into seven layers, each with a specific function.

What does the Application layer do?

The Application layer is the top layer of the OSI model. It's responsible for providing user-facing services like file transfer, email, and web browsing.

What does the Presentation layer do?

The Presentation layer takes care of data formatting and encryption/decryption. It ensures data is presented in a standardized way for the receiving application.

What does the Session layer do?

The Session layer manages communication sessions between two devices. It establishes, maintains, and terminates the session, ensuring smooth communication flow.

Study Notes

OSI Model

  • OSI model is a conceptual framework that standardizes communication protocols.
  • It categorizes network functions into seven layers.
  • The layers are categorized into upper (application, presentation, session) and lower (transport, network, data link, physical) layers.

Application Layer

  • Provides user interface.
  • Handles application services (e.g., file, print, message, databases).
  • Determines availability of communication partners.
  • Acts as an interface between applications (e.g., web browsers).
  • Protocols like HTTP facilitate communication between apps.

Presentation Layer

  • Presents data to the application layer.
  • Handles data encryption, decryption, compression, and translation.
  • Translates data for application layer.
  • Formats data before transmission.

Session Layer

  • Manages sessions between applications.
  • Keeps applications' data separate.
  • Manages connections and sessions between systems.
  • Manages communication organization (e.g., simplex, half-duplex, full-duplex).

Transport Layer

  • Provides reliable/unreliable data delivery.
  • Performs error correction before retransmission.
  • Manages end-to-end connections.
  • Segments and reassembles data into streams.
  • Manages end-to-end transport services.
  • Manages data integrity using flow control and buffering.
  • Controls data amount sent by senders (via windowing).
  • Includes acknowledgement mechanisms (acknowledgments, and retransmissions).

Network Layer

  • Provides logical addressing.
  • Routers use logical addressing to determine routing paths.
  • Manages logical-device addressing.
  • Determines the best routes for data transmission (using metrics, and routers).
  • Combines packets into bytes and bytes into frames.
  • Provides media access (e.g., using MAC).
  • Performs error detection (not correction).
  • Handles communication between devices using physical topology.
  • Handles error handling.
  • Translates messages for the physical layer.
  • Establishes unique device identification (using MAC addresses).
  • Specifies electrical/mechanical/functional requirements for connectivity between devices.
  • Includes DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) and DCE (Data Communication Equipment) involved.

Physical Layer

  • Moves bits between devices.
  • Specifies voltage, wire speed, and pinout of cable.
  • Specifies electrical, mechanical, and procedural interface properties.
  • Defines how bits are transmitted and received between devices.

OSI Upper and Lower Layers

  • Top layers (application, presentation, session): Define rule for application interactions within a host.
  • Bottom layers (transport, network, data link, physical): Define communication from one end to another.

Routing Protocols (from OSI Model page 3)

  • Protocols like RIP, RIPv2, OSPF, and EIGRP manage routing.
  • Routers maintain routing tables for these protocols.
  • Routers use "metrics" to determine optimal routes.
  • Routers help reduce network traffic and manage collision domains.

Data Link Layer (from OSI Model page 3)

  • Handles error notification and network topology/flow control.
  • Uses MAC addresses for communication.
  • Translates data and handles messages.

Modulation Techniques (from OSI Model page 4)

  • Modulations vary carrier signal properties to transmit information.
  • Converts baseband signals to passband signals.
  • Methods include FDM (Frequency Division Multiplexing) and TDM (Time Division Multiplexing).
