OSI Model Purpose

The OSI Model provides a framework to understand how network protocols work and how data travels across a network. It's used to explain network functions, internet protocols, and troubleshooting.

OSI Model Layers

The OSI model conceptually divides computer networks into 7 layers, with each layer responsible for specific communication tasks. Lower layers handle data transmission, while higher layers focus on user interactions.

Physical Layer (OSI)

The first layer of the OSI model. It's responsible for physically transmitting data bits over network media using signals. It deals with cables, connectors, and signals.

Network Troubleshooting

Using the OSI model to systematically diagnose and fix network problems, by identifying where the issue occurs in the communication stack.

Study Notes

Why Should We Learn the OSI Model?

  • Learning the OSI Model helps understand functions, web browser operation, Internet Protocol and its workings, ARP, and MAC addresses.
  • Learning the OSI Model makes troubleshooting and communication with other technical people easier.
  • It simplifies learning and troubleshooting computer problems.

OSI Model

  • The OSI model is a network architecture framework for implementing protocols in layers.
  • It is mainly used as a teaching tool.
  • It conceptually divides computer network architecture into 7 layers, in a logical progression.
  • Lower layers handle electrical signals, binary data, and routing.
  • Higher layers handle network requests, responses, data representation, and user-level protocols.
  • The model's layered design is reflected in many popular network technologies.

Layer 7: Application

  • Responsible for network services to end users.
  • Protocols like HTTP are examples for web browser application.

Layer 6: Presentation

  • Handles message data formatting.
  • Carries out format conversions and encryption/decryption.
  • Example: converting file formats for display.

Layer 5: Session

  • Manages the sequence and flow of network connections.
  • Creates dynamic connections between networks.

Layer 4: Transport

  • Delivers data across network connections.
  • TCP is the most common example.
  • May support additional capabilities like error correction, flow control, retransmission.

Layer 3: Network

  • Adds routing capabilities for data delivery.
  • Manages logical addresses (e.g., IP addresses).
  • Translates logical to physical addresses.
  • Checks for transmission errors and segments data into frames
  • Uses physical addressing (MAC).

Layer 1: Physical

  • Responsible for digital data transmission across network media.
  • Uses signaling types: electrical, radio frequencies, or light pulses.
