    Study Notes

    OSI Model Overview

    The OSI (Open Systems Interconnection) model is a 7-layered framework for designing and implementing computer networks.

    Layers of the OSI Model

    1. Physical Layer (Layer 1)
      • Defines the physical means of data transmission (e.g., cables, Wi-Fi)
      • Specifies voltage levels, data rates, and network topology
    2. Data Link Layer (Layer 2)
      • Provides error-free transfer of data frames between nodes on the same network
      • Manages access to the network, resolves collisions, and corrects errors
    3. Network Layer (Layer 3)
      • Routes data between networks
      • Provides logical addressing, routing, and congestion control
    4. Transport Layer (Layer 4)
      • Ensures reliable data transfer between devices
      • Provides error detection and correction, as well as flow control
    5. Session Layer (Layer 5)
      • Establishes, manages, and terminates connections between applications
      • Controls dialogue between applications and manages data exchange
    6. Presentation Layer (Layer 6)
      • Converts data into a format that can be understood by the receiving device
      • Manages data encryption, compression, and formatting
    7. Application Layer (Layer 7)
      • Provides services to end-user applications (e.g., email, file transfer, web browsing)
      • Supports functions such as email, FTP, and HTTP

    Key Concepts

    • Each layer communicates with its peer layer on other devices through a standardized interface
    • Data is encapsulated with headers and trailers as it moves down the stack, and de-encapsulated as it moves up
    • The OSI model is a theoretical framework, and not all protocols follow it strictly (e.g., TCP/IP)

    OSI Model

    Physical Layer (Layer 1)

    • Defines the physical means of transmitting data between devices, including cable specifications and wireless transmission
    • Concerned with the physical transmission of raw bits over a physical medium
    • Responsible for bit-level transmission and reception, signal encoding and decoding, and data transmission and reception
    • Provides error-free transfer of data frames between nodes on the same network
    • Ensures error detection and correction through framing, error detection, and correction
    • Manages access to the network and resolves collisions through medium access control (MAC)
    • Functions include framing, error detection, flow control, and MAC

    Network Layer (Layer 3)

    • Routes data between nodes on different networks
    • Provides logical addressing and routing through IP addressing
    • Concerned with the routing of data between networks, including congestion control
    • Functions include routing, logical addressing, and congestion control

    Transport Layer (Layer 4)

    • Provides reliable data transfer between devices
    • Ensures error-free and sequential delivery of data through segmentation and reassembly
    • Concerned with the transportation of data between devices, including connection establishment and termination
    • Functions include segmentation, reassembly, connection establishment, and error detection and correction

    Session Layer (Layer 5)

    • Establishes, manages, and terminates connections between applications
    • Controls the dialogue between applications through session establishment and termination
    • Concerned with the synchronization and management of dialogues, including synchronization and dialogue management
