    Study Notes

    Why Should We Learn the OSI Model?

    • Learning the OSI model helps understand functions, timing, web browsers, internet protocol, ARP, and MAC addresses.
    • It aids troubleshooting and communication with technical personnel.
    • Learning it simplifies computer problem resolution.

    OSI Model

    • The OSI model is a networking framework for implementing protocols in layers, with control passing between layers.
    • It's primarily used as a teaching tool, dividing computer networks logically into 7 layers.
    • Lower layers manage electrical signals, data chunks, and routing.
    • Higher layers handle requests, responses, and user-level protocols.

    Network Architecture Based on the OSI Model

    • The model represents a layered framework (Fig 1.17).
    • Layers, from top to bottom, perform application protocols, presentation protocols, session protocols, transport protocols, communication subnet boundary, network, and network protocols.
    • Each layer exchanges structured data units (Fig 1.17).

    Physical Layer (Layer 1)

    • Responsible for transmitting digital data bits from one device to another through communication media.
    • Includes technologies like Ethernet and Token Ring and devices like hubs and repeaters.
    • Data is transmitted using physical signaling (e.g., electric voltages, radio frequencies, light).
    • Checks for transmission errors, packages bits into frames, manages addressing (like MAC addresses).
    • Controls access to the physical medium and has a media access control (MAC) and logical link control (LLC) sub-layer.

    Network Layer (Layer 3)

    • Formats data into packets, manages logical addresses (like IP addresses).
    • Manages address resolution (ARP) and routing.

    Transport Layer (Layer 4)

    • Delivers data across network connections.
    • TCP (most common) is a protocol providing features like error recovery, flow control, and re-transmission.

    Session Layer (Layer 5)

    • Manages connections, supporting multiple connections dynamically within individual networks.

    Presentation Layer (Layer 6)

    • Handles message syntax, data formatting conversion, and encryption/decryption.

    Application Layer (Layer 7)

    • Provides network services to applications.
    • Examples are protocols like HTTP, for handling data in web browsers.

    Operational Example of the OSI Model (Ethernet)

    • A Web browser contacts a Web server to retrieve a page. This involves multiple layers working together.
    • The Application layer initiates the request.
    • Presentation handles various file formats and conversions.
    • Session establishes communication.
    • Transport manages reliability.
    • Network determines routing.
    • Data Link handles communication on the network.
    • Physical layer transmits data through physical media.
