Study Notes
Why Should We Learn the OSI Model?
- Learning the OSI model helps understand functions, timing, web browsers, internet protocols, ARP, and MAC addresses.
- It simplifies troubleshooting computer problems.
- It aids communication with other technical professionals.
OSI Model
- The OSI model is a networking framework for implementing protocols.
- Layers with control passing between layers.
- Conceptually divides computer networks into 7 logical layers.
- Lower layers deal with electrical signals, binary data, network routing.
- Higher layers cover requests, data representation, and user interaction.
- It's used as a teaching tool.
- Many popular network technologies reflect this layered design.
Physical Layer
- Layer 1 of the OSI model.
- Responsible for transmitting digital data bits between devices over a network medium.
- Includes Ethernet and Token Ring technologies.
- Involves hubs, repeaters, and cable connectors.
- Data transmission uses signaling types like voltages, radio frequencies, etc.
Data Link Layer
- Layer 2.
- Checks for transmission errors.
- Packages bits into frames.
- Manages physical addressing (e.g., MAC addresses in Ethernet).
- Controls device access to the physical medium.
- Divided into Media Access Control (MAC) and Logical Link Control (LLC) sublayers.
Network Layer
- Layer 3. Formats data into packets for the transport layer.
- Maintains logical addresses (like IP addresses).
- Maps logical addresses to physical addresses (using ARP).
- Supports routing.
Transport Layer
- Layer 4. Delivers data across network connections using protocols like TCP.
- Provides capabilities like error recovery, flow control, and re-transmission.
Session Layer
- Layer 5. Manages the sequence and flow of network connections.
- Supports multiple connections over individual networks.
Presentation Layer
- Layer 6. Processes message data formats (like conversions).
- Handles encryption/decryption.
Application Layer
- Layer 7. Supplies networking services to end-user applications.
- Often involves protocols for specific tasks (like HTTP for web browsers).
