Study Notes
OSI Model
- The Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model is a framework for developing protocol standards.
- It describes communication between heterogeneous computers.
- The OSI model was proposed to reduce design complexity and make it possible to interconnect different kinds of network systems.
Principles of the OSI Model
- Each layer should perform a well-defined function.
- A layer should be created where a different level of abstraction is needed.
- The function of each layer should be chosen within internationally standardized protocols.
- The layer boundaries should be chosen to minimize the information flow across the interfaces.
- Each layer only uses the functions of the layer below, and only exports functionality to the layer above.
OSI Model Architecture
- The OSI model has seven layers, organized from the physical layer to the application layer.
- The physical layer deals with the physical transmission of data.
- The data link layer is responsible for error detection and correction, as well as framing data.
- The network layer establishes the route and handles packet segmentation for data transmission.
- The transport layer manages end-to-end communication, regulates the data flow, and ensures reliable data delivery.
- The session layer establishes, maintains, and terminates user sessions between machines, managing dialogue control and data synchronization.
- The presentation layer handles data representation, ensuring that data is in a format that can be understood by both sender and receiver.
- The application layer provides services for users, such as file transfer, email, and remote login.
Data Link Layer
- The Logical Link Control (LLC) sublayer manages communication between devices over a single link.
- The Medium Access Control (MAC) sublayer uniquely identifies devices on a network.
Network Layer
- The network layer is responsible for routing data packets across the network.
- Static and dynamic routing is used for network control.
- Packet segmentation helps manage data transmission over heterogeneous networks.
Transport Layer
- The transport layer splits data into smaller units (packets) and passes them to the Network Layer.
- It ensures that all data pieces are delivered correctly at the receiving end.
- The transport layer performs error detection and recovery.
Session Layer
- The session layer manages user sessions between machines.
- It synchronizes data flow using checkpoints.
- Data retransmission only occurs after a crash and for data after the last checkpoint.
Presentation Layer
- The presentation layer handles data representation, such as data compression and decompression, as well as cryptography and encryption.
Application Layer
- The application layer interacts with users and applications, providing services like file transfer, email, and remote login.
- It maps the virtual world to the real world, allowing communication between different file systems and naming conventions.
OSI Model Communication
- Each layer handles a specific aspect of communication.
- Each layer encapsulates the data from the layer above into a protocol data unit (PDU).
- Data is passed down the layers, with each layer adding its own header and trailer information to the PDU.
Data Transmission
- Data transmission occurs through the different layers of the model.
- Each layer performs its own specific function on the data before passing it down to the next layer.
- Data is transmitted as a stream of bits through the physical layer.
- Header information from each layer is added to ensure proper routing and delivery of data.
