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.
Data Link Layer
- 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.
