    OSI Model Layers

    Uploaded by

    Kate Resus
    The 7 layers of the OSI model are: 1) Physical, 2) Data Link, 3) Network, 4) Transport, 5) Session, 6) Presentation, and 7) Application. Each layer serves the layer above it and is served by the layer below it. Data flows down through the layers in the source computer, across the network, and then up through the layers in the receiving computer. The layers enable systems to transmit signals over networks like Ethernet, fiber optic cables, Wi-Fi, and other wireless protocols.

    1. Discuss the 7 layers of OSI, give examples.

    OSI model layers

    The main concept of OSI is that the process of communication between two endpoints in a
    network can be divided into seven distinct groups of related functions, or layers. Each
    communicating user or program is on a device that can provide those seven layers of
    function.

    In this architecture, each layer serves the layer above it and, in turn, is served by the layer
    below it. So, in a given message between users, there will be a flow of data down through
    the layers in the source computer, across the network, and then up through the layers in
    the receiving computer.

    Tech Target

    The seven layers of function are provided by a


    combination of applications, operating
    systems, network card device drivers and
    networking hardware that enable a system to
    transmit a signal over a network Ethernet or
    fiber optic cable or through Wi-Fi or
    other wireless protocols.

    The seven Open Systems Interconnection


    layers are:

    Layer 7: The application layer. This is the


    layer at which communication partners are
    identified -- Is there someone to talk to? --
    network capacity is assessed -- Will the
    network let me talk to them right now? -- and
    where the data or application is presented in
    a visual form the user can understand. This
    layer is not the application itself, it is the set
    of services an application should be able to
    make use of directly, although some applications may perform application-layer functions.

    Layer 6: The presentation layer. This layer is usually part of an operating system (OS) and
    converts incoming and outgoing data from one presentation format to another -- for
    example, from clear text to encrypted text at one end and back to clear text at the other.
    Layer 5: The session layer. This layer sets up, coordinates and terminates conversations. Its
    services include authentication and reconnection after an interruption. On the internet,
    Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and User Datagram Protocol (UDP) provide these
    services for most applications.

    Layer 4: The transport layer. This layer manages packetization of data, then the delivery of
    the packets, including checking for errors in the data once it arrives. On the internet, TCP
    and UDP provide these services for most applications as well.

    Layer 3: The network layer. This layer handles addressing and routing the data -- sending
    it in the right direction to the right destination on outgoing transmissions and receiving
    incoming transmissions at the packet level. IP is the network layer for the internet.

    Layer 2: The data-link layer. This layer sets up links across the physical network, putting
    packets into network frames. This layer has two sub-layers: the logical link control
    layer and the media access control layer (MAC). MAC layer types include Ethernet and
    802.11 wireless specifications.

    Layer 1: The physical layer. This layer conveys the bit stream across the network either
    electrically, mechanically or through radio waves. The physical layer covers a variety of
    devices and mediums, among them cabling, connectors, receivers, transceivers and
    repeaters.
