Study Notes
OSI Model Overview
- OSI stands for Open Systems Interconnection
- Developed in 1977 by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO)
- A conceptual model that standardizes the functions of a network
- Not the exact model for modern networks but a foundational concept
- Seven layers, each responsible for a specific function
OSI Model Layers
-
Physical Layer (Layer 1):
- The process of data transmission occurs by converting data into binary format, enabling it to travel efficiently across various types of networks. This method is essential for effective communication between devices within the network.
- In addition to transmitting data, it is crucial to consider the physical characteristics of the network infrastructure. This involves ensuring that the appropriate type of cables are used, as well as managing frequency specifications to minimize interference and optimize performance.
- Key devices that play a significant role in network transmission include network interface cards (NICs), which provide the means for computers to connect to the network, hubs that facilitate the connection of multiple devices, repeaters that help extend the range of the network signal, and media converters that allow different types of media to communicate seamlessly.
- Data Link Layer (Layer 2):
- Encapsulates data into frames
- Provides error detection and correction
- Uses MAC addresses to identify devices
- Devices include switches and bridges
- Network Layer (Layer 3):
- Handles routing of packets across networks
- Uses IP addresses to logically address devices
- Devices: Routers
- Protocol types: IP
- Transport Layer (Layer 4):
- Provides reliable transmission of data using TCP or UDP
- Segments and manages data flow
- TCP: Connection-oriented, reliable
- UDP: Connectionless, faster but less reliable
- Session Layer (Layer 5):
- Establishes, manages, and terminates sessions between applications
- Controls who talks first, how long a session will last, and how to resume the conversation, if broken
- Examples: H.323 and NetBIOS
- Presentation Layer (Layer 6):
- Formats data for presentation to applications
- Handles encryption and decryption
- Uses protocols like TLS and ASCII
- Example formats: GIFs, JPEGs, MP4s etc
- Application Layer (Layer 7):
- Provides network services to applications
- Protocols include HTTP, FTP, SMTP, POP3, IMAP
- Examples: Web browsers, email clients, file transfer clients
