Study Notes
What is the OSI Model?
- The OSI model is a reference model for how to design and implement network communication.
- It provides a framework for how data is transmitted between devices.
- It is commonly used in networking to understand and troubleshoot network problems.
OSI Model Layers
- The OSI model has seven layers in total, each responsible for a specific task.
- The layers of the OSI model are:
- Physical Layer
- Data Link Layer
- Network Layer
- Transport Layer
- Session Layer
- Presentation Layer
- Application Layer
OSI Model Architecture
- The OSI model follows a layered architecture.
- Data travels through each layer, starting with the Application Layer and ending with the Physical Layer.
- Each layer performs a specific function on the data.
Application Layer
- The Application Layer is the top layer of the OSI model.
- It provides the interface between the user and the network.
- Most applications use this layer to interact with the network.
Presentation Layer
- The Presentation Layer is responsible for data presentation and format conversion.
- It converts data into a format that is understandable by both the sending and receiving systems.
- The Presentation Layer offers many services to the Session Layer, including:
- Data Encryption
- Data Compression
- Data Format Conversion
Session Layer
- The Session Layer is responsible for managing the communication session.
- The Session Layer provides services for:
- Establishing and terminating communication sessions
- Maintaining an ongoing connection between devices.
- Syncing communication dialogs between devices.
- Error Handling
Transport Layer
- The Transport Layer provides reliable data transfer.
- The Transport Layer ensures data is:
- Sent in the correct order
- Free from errors
- Error Handling
Network Layer
- The Network Layer is responsible for logical addressing.
- It also determines the best path for data to flow between devices.
- The Network Layer includes:
- Addressing (IP Addresses)
- Path Determination
- Routing
Data Link Layer
- The Data Link Layer is responsible for providing access to the physical network.
- It provides a reliable connection between devices.
- The Data Link Layer provides services for:
- Physical Addressing (MAC Address)
- Framing of data for transmission
- Error Detection/Correction
Physical Layer
- The Physical Layer is the lowest layer of the OSI model.
- It is concerned with the physical transmission of data over the network.
- The Physical Layer defines the:
- Physical characteristics of the network (cable, connectors)
- Transmission Techniques
- Data Bit Representation
- Signal Timing
- Network Access Method.
Presentation Layer
- The presentation layer performs the opposite function of the presentation layer in a sending device.
- It decrypts the data received from the network layer.
- It converts machine-understandable data into human-understandable data or vice versa. It was previously converting human-understandable data into machine-understandable data.
- It may also decompress received data, although this is not always necessary.
- The presentation layer is responsible for formatting the data into a presentable form for the application layer.
Application Layer
- The application layer is responsible for interacting with the user and providing the interface for sending and receiving data.
- In the provided example, the application layer receives the decrypted and decompressed message from the presentation layer.
- The application layer then displays this message to the user, for example, in the form of "I love you."
- If the user wants to respond, the application layer will take the message and send it back through the network layers.
Network Layers
- When the user enters a message such as "I love you too", the application layer sends the message to the network layers.
- Each of the network layers, including the presentation and session layers, will perform their respective functions on the message to prepare it for transmission.
- The message will then be sent to the destination device, where it will be processed through the network layers in the reverse order.
- This will ultimately result in the original receiver receiving the message.
Cycle
- This process of sending and receiving messages is cyclical.
- The communication between devices is based on layers and each layer has its own role.
