Study Notes
OSI Reference Model
- 7-layered model:
- Physical Layer (Layer 1): Defines physical means of data transmission
- Data Link Layer (Layer 2): Provides error-free transfer of data frames
- Network Layer (Layer 3): Routes data between networks
- Transport Layer (Layer 4): Provides reliable data transfer between devices
- Session Layer (Layer 5): Establishes, manages, and terminates connections
- Presentation Layer (Layer 6): Converts data into a format for transmission
- Application Layer (Layer 7): Provides services to end-user applications
TCP/IP Model
- 4-layered model:
- Network Access Layer: Combines OSI's Physical and Data Link Layers
- Internet Layer: Equivalent to OSI's Network Layer
- Transport Layer: Equivalent to OSI's Transport Layer
- Application Layer: Combines OSI's Session, Presentation, and Application Layers
Key differences between OSI and TCP/IP Models
- OSI is a 7-layered model, while TCP/IP is a 4-layered model
- OSI is more theoretical and generic, while TCP/IP is more practical and widely used
- OSI's Session and Presentation Layers are combined in TCP/IP's Application Layer
OSI Reference Model
- OSI model consists of 7 layers, each with a specific function
- Physical Layer (Layer 1): defines the physical means of data transmission, such as cables, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth
- Data Link Layer (Layer 2): ensures error-free transfer of data frames between devices on the same network
- Network Layer (Layer 3): routes data between different networks, allowing communication between devices on different networks
- Transport Layer (Layer 4): provides reliable data transfer between devices, including error detection and correction
- Session Layer (Layer 5): establishes, manages, and terminates connections between applications running on different devices
- Presentation Layer (Layer 6): converts data into a format that can be understood by the receiving device, such as encrypting and compressing data
- Application Layer (Layer 7): provides services to end-user applications, such as email, file transfer, and web browsing
TCP/IP Model
- TCP/IP model consists of 4 layers, which combine the functions of OSI's 7 layers
- Network Access Layer: combines the functions of OSI's Physical and Data Link Layers, including data transmission and error-free transfer
- Internet Layer: equivalent to OSI's Network Layer, responsible for routing data between different networks
- Transport Layer: equivalent to OSI's Transport Layer, providing reliable data transfer between devices
- Application Layer: combines the functions of OSI's Session, Presentation, and Application Layers, providing services to end-user applications
Key differences between OSI and TCP/IP Models
- OSI model has 7 layers, while TCP/IP model has 4 layers
- OSI model is more theoretical and generic, while TCP/IP model is more practical and widely used
- TCP/IP model combines OSI's Session and Presentation Layers into a single Application Layer
