Study Notes

Why Should We Learn the OSI Model?

  • Learning the OSI model helps understand functions, web browser operations, internet protocol, and MAC addresses.
  • It aids in troubleshooting computer problems and communicating with technical people.
  • It facilitates learning and troubleshooting through a layered approach.

OSI Model

  • The OSI model is a networking framework with 7 layers for implementing protocols.
  • Control is passed through these layers.
  • The model is primarily used as a teaching tool.
  • Lower layers manage electrical signals, binary data, and routing.
  • Higher layers handle user requests, data representation, and protocols.
  • Many network technologies reflect this layered design.

Physical Layer

  • Layer 1 handles ultimate data transmission from a sending device to a receiving device over a network medium.
  • Examples include Ethernet and Token Ring networks.
  • Devices like hubs, repeaters, and cable connectors operate at this layer.
  • Data transmission uses signals such as electric voltage, radio frequencies, or pulses of light.
  • This layer checks physical transmission errors and packages bits into frames.
  • It manages physical addressing, such as MAC addresses for networks (e.g., Ethernet).
  • It controls access to the physical medium.
  • It's divided into Media Access Control and Logical Link Control sublayers (often the most complex).

Network Layer

  • This layer adds routing, examining source and destination addresses to determine the final destination.
  • It formats data into packets for the Transport layer and updates destination addresses.
  • Manages logical addresses (e.g., IP addresses).
  • Maps logical addresses to physical addresses using ARP.

Transport Layer

  • Delivers data across network connections.
  • TCP is a common transport protocol.
  • Offers error recovery, flow control, and support for retransmission.

Session Layer

  • Manages the sequence and flow of events in network connections, dynamically creating and managing them across networks.

Presentation Layer

  • Simplest layer in the OSI model.
  • Handles syntax processing for message data (format conversions, encryption, decryption).

Application Layer

  • Provides network services to end-user applications.
  • Protocols handle user data, interacting with the presentation layer.
  • Examples include HTTP for web browsing.
