Study Notes
Why Should We Learn the OSI Model?
- Learning the OSI model helps understand functions, web browser operation, internet protocol, MAC addresses, and ARP.
- It enhances troubleshooting skills for various issues, including computer problems.
- It aids communication with technical personnel and discussion of technical issues.
- Learning the OSI model simplifies the learning process overall.
OSI Model
- The OSI (Open Systems Interconnection) model is a framework for network protocols, structured in layers for control transmission.
- The model defines a 7-layer networking structure with control passing from one layer to the next.
- Lower levels handle electrical signals, chunks of data, and routing, while higher levels deal with user-facing network requests, data representation, and protocols.
OSI Model Layers
-
The OSI model is a conceptual framework, used for teaching purposes, but not always reflected in current network technology.
-
Layer 7 (Application): Provides services to users. Example: web browser.
-
Layer 6 (Presentation): Handles data formatting, conversions, and encryption/decryption. Example: HTTP.
-
Layer 5 (Session): Manages connections, establishing and terminating network relationships. Example: TCP
-
Layer 4 (Transport): Delivers data across networks. Example: TCP
-
Layer 3 (Network): Uses logical addresses (like IP) for routing packets.
-
Layer 2 (Data Link): Handles physical addressing (MAC) and access to the physical medium. Example: Ethernet.
-
Layer 1 (Physical): Transmits data bits over the physical medium. Example: cables, connectors.
Operational Example (Using Ethernet Card)
- Application Layer: Web browser initiates a request to a web server.
- Presentation Layer: Browser processes data formats (e.g., HTML, images)
- Session Layer: Establishes a connection to the web server.
- Transport Layer: Data transmitted using TCP to ensure reliable delivery and reassembly.
- Network Layer: IP address used for routing to the web server. Uses ARP for address resolution.
- Data Link Layer: MAC addresses are used for communication with the default gateway.
- Physical Layer: Physical transmission of data through the Ethernet cable.
