Study Notes
Why Should We Learn the OSI Model?
- Learning the OSI model helps understand functions, timing and where they occur.
- It helps understand how a web browser works.
- It explains how Internet Protocol works.
- Shows why ARP and MAC addresses are necessary.
- Makes learning and troubleshooting easier, including computer problems.
- Facilitates communication with technical people and discussing technical issues.
OSI Model Layers
- The OSI model defines a networking framework with 7 layers: Application, Presentation, Session, Transport, Network, Data Link, and Physical.
- Each layer builds upon the previous one, with control passing from one to the next.
- The layers are primarily used as a teaching tool.
- Lower layers handle electrical signals, data chunks, and routing.
- Higher layers address requests and responses using network protocols.
Physical Layer
- Layer 1 is responsible for transmitting digital data bits from the source to the destination.
- Technologies like Ethernet and Token Ring are examples.
- Includes hubs, repeaters, and cable connectors.
- Data transmission uses signaling types such as electric voltages, radio frequencies, and light pulses.
Data Link Layer
- Layer 2 checks for transmission errors, packaging bits into frames.
- Manages physical addressing schemes (e.g., MAC addresses for Ethernet).
- Controls device access to the physical medium.
- Often divided into Media Access Control and Logical Link Control sublayers.
Network Layer
- Layer 3 adds routing functionality, focusing on source and destination addresses.
- Formats data into packets, delivered to the Transport layer.
- Uses logical addresses (e.g., IP addresses) for devices on the network.
- Manages the mapping between logical and physical addresses (e.g., using ARP).
Transport Layer
- Layer 4 delivers data across network connections.
- TCP is a common example of a transport protocol.
- Protocols can support error recovery, flow control, and re-transmission capabilities.
Session Layer
- Layer 5 manages network connection initiation and termination.
- Supports multiple connection types that can be created dynamically.
Presentation Layer
- Layer 6 handles message syntax processing: format conversions, encryption, and decryption.
Application Layer
- Layer 7 provides network services to user applications (e.g., web browsers).
- Examples include protocols like HTTP for web browsing.
OSI Model Operational Example (using Ethernet card)
- Applications like web browsers initiate requests.
- Requests are converted to messages and sent to the network card.
- The card passes them to the network layer for routing.
- The network layer then checks addresses to determine the final destination.
- Layer 1 (Physical) transmits the request.
