Study Notes
Why Should We Learn the OSI Model?
- Learning the OSI model helps understand functions, web browser workings, internet protocol, ARP, and MAC addresses.
- Learning the OSI model simplifies troubleshooting computer problems.
- Communicating with technical people and discussing issues is aided by the OSI model.
OSI Model
- The OSI model is a networking framework for implementing protocols using layers.
- Â It divides computer networks into logical layers (7 layers in total).
- Lower layers manage electrical signals, data chunks, and routing.
- Higher layers handle network requests, responses, data representation, and protocols from a user's perspective.
- The OSI model provides a standard architecture for building network systems.
- Many popular network technologies reflect the OSI model's layered design.
Physical Layer
- Layer 1 is responsible for ultimate digital data transmission.
- Layer 1 uses physical media (e.g., cables, radio frequencies, infrared).
- Technologies like Ethernet and Token Ring operate at this layer.
- Hubs, repeaters, and connectors are physical layer devices.
Data Link Layer
- Checks physical transmission errors.
- Packages bits into frames.
- Manages physical addressing (e.g., MAC addresses).
- Controls access to physical media.
- Divided into Media Access Control and Logical Link Control sublayers.
Network Layer
- Â Manages routing above the data link layer.
- Examines data source and destination addresses.
- Maintains logical addresses (e.g., IP addresses).
- Maps logical addresses to physical ones (e.g., using ARP).
- Formats data into packets to be sent to the transport layer.
Transport Layer
- Delivers data across network connections.
- TCP is a common example of a transport layer protocol (for handling error recovery, flow control, and re-transmission).
Session Layer
- Manages the sequence and flow of network events and connections that can be dynamically created.
Presentation Layer
- Handles syntax processing (e.g., format conversions, encryption, decryption).
- Simplest function of any piece of the OSI model.
Application Layer
- Provides network services to end-user applications.
- Used by protocols for tasks like transferring web page content (e.g., HTTP).
- Layers work together, passing data to each other for different tasks.
