Study Notes

OSI Model Overview

The OSI Model, developed by ISO in the late 1970s, standardizes communication between different computer hardware.
The model comprises seven layers, which facilitate data transmission and application development.
Each layer has distinct functions that simplify network communication and device interoperability.

Presentation Layer (Sixth Layer)

Responsible for data translation and code formatting, ensuring compatibility between different systems.
Handles data compression, decompression, encryption, and decryption.

Session Layer (Fifth Layer)

Manages sessions between applications, ensuring data remains separate and organized.
Offers three communication modes: simplex, half duplex, and full duplex.

Transport Layer (Fourth Layer)

Provides reliable or unreliable data delivery and segments data for efficient transmission.
Establishes logical connections between sending and receiving hosts using connection-oriented (e.g., Three-Way Handshake) or connectionless methods.

Network Layer (Third Layer)

Offers logical addressing utilized by routers for determining paths in the network.
Manages device addressing to track locations of devices and ensures optimal data routing.
Utilizes data packets and route update packets for communication.

Data Link Layer (Second Layer)

Combines packets into frames for transmission, providing access to network media via MAC addresses.
Ensures correct message delivery to devices on a LAN through hardware addressing.
Functions include uniquely identifying devices with switches and bridges.

Physical Layer (First Layer)

Operates at the lowest level, transmitting raw bits (0s and 1s) between devices.
Specifies transmission media characteristics, including wire speed and pinouts.
Hubs work at this layer to facilitate bit transmission.

Data Encapsulation Process

User information is converted for network transmission, following a structured encapsulation process.
Data is segmented, which establishes a reliable connection, converting segments into packets, then into frames, and finally into bits for local transmission.

Internetworking and OSI Reference Model

The OSI model aids in internetworking between devices from different vendors, promoting standardization.
Divided into upper (Application, Presentation, Session layers) and lower layers (Transport, Network, Data Link, Physical).
Hosts operate across all seven layers, including web and application servers.

Application Layer (Seventh Layer)

This top layer allows end-user interaction with network applications, providing the user interface.
Determines resource availability for intended communication.
Supports services such as file transfer, web clients, and email clients.
