Each layer uses its own layer protocol to communicate with its
peer layer in another system. Each layer's protocol exchanges
information, called protocol data units (PDUs), with its peer
layers.
For example, in TCP/IP the transport layer of TCP
communicates with the peer TCP function by using segments.
Each layer uses the services of the layer below it in order to
communicate with its peer layer.
Step 1
A computer converts an e-mail message into alphanumeric
characters that can be used by the internetworking system. This is
the data.
Step 2
The message data then changes to segments for transport on the
internetwork system. The transport function ensures that the
message hosts at both ends of the e-mail system can reliably
communicate.
Step 3
The data then forms a packet, or datagram, that also contains a
network header that includes a source and destination logical
address. The address helps the network devices send the packet
across the network along a chosen path.
Step 4
Each network device puts the packet into a
frame. The frame enables the device to connect
to the next directly-connected network device
on the link.
Step 5
The frame changes to a pattern of 1s and 0s for
transmission on the medium (usually a wire).
Some clocking function enables the devices to
distinguish bits as they travel across the
medium.
broadcast control
The Ethernet and 802.3 data links prepare data for transport across
the physical link that joins two devices. For example, as this graphic
shows, three devices can be directly attached to each other over the
Ethernet LAN.
If two stations transmit at the same time if this should occur, they would
cause a collision. All stations stop sending frames for a randomly selected
time period.
Two important types of addresses are data link layer addresses and
network layer addresses. Data link layer addresses, also called
physical hardware addresses or MAC addresses, are typically unique
for each network connection. In fact, for most LANs, data link layer
addresses are located on the NIC (network interface card).
One way in which the sender can ascertain that MAC address
that it needs is to use an ARP (Address Resolution Protocol).
Router will provide its own MAC address if the host and
destination are on different subnets.
The 3 bits in the example are enough for the required five hosts per
wire (actually, giving you host numbers 1 - 6).
A host number of 0 is reserved for the wire (or subnet) address, and
a host value of all 1s is reserved because it selects all hoststhat is,
it is a broadcast.

The presentation layer (Layer 6) formats and converts network application data into text, data
encryption, graphics, video, audio, or whatever format is necessary for the receiving device to
understand it.
The session layer (Layer 5) establishes, manages, and terminates communication interactions
between applications. NFS, SQL and X Windows System all operate at this layer
The transport layer (Layer 4) is responsible for transporting and regulating the flow of
information from source to destination, and for doing it reliably and accurately. Its functions
include:
connection synchronization
flow control
error recovery
reliability through windowing

The presentation layer (Layer 6) of the OSI reference model is responsible for presenting data in
a form that a receiving device can understand. It serves as the translator - sometimes between
different formats - for devices that need to communicate over a network, by providing code
formatting and and conversion.
As the transport layer sends its data segments, it also ensures the integrity of the data.
This transport is a connection-oriented relationship between communicating end
systems. Some of the reasons for accomplishing reliable transport are as follows:
It ensures that senders receive acknowledgement of delivered segments.
It provides for retransmission of any segments that are not
acknowledged.
It puts segments back into their correct sequence at the destination
device.
It provides congestion avoidance and control.
One reason for using a multi-layer model such as the OSI reference
model is so that multiple applications can share the same transport
connection. Transport functionality is accomplished segment by
segment. This means that different data segments from different
applications, being sent to the same destination or to many
destinations, are sent on a first-come, first-served basis.
In concept, one device places a call to another device that the other
device must accept. Protocol software modules in the two operating
systems communicate by sending messages across the network to
verify that the transfer is authorized and that both sides are ready.
