Open System Inter-Connect Model concepts
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Name the 7 layers of the OSI model | L1 - Physical, L2 - DataLink, L3 - Network, L4 - Transport, L5 - Session, L6 - Presentation, L7 - Application |
| What does OSI stand for? | Open System Inter-Connect |
| What is the OSI model? | Theoretical 7 layer model that represents how networks function and help to standardize the design elements of network components. |
| What layer handles the addressing and routing functionality? | Network |
| What layer has the function of connections and sessions? | Session |
| What layer has the function of network services? | Applicaiton |
| What layer functionality deals with media, electrical signals and connectors? | Physical |
| What layer functionality is to gather together and complete all the elements that make up a packet/frame? | DataLink |
| What layer has the function fragmentation/defragmentation? | Transport |
| What layer has the function of error correction/management? | Transport |
| What layer has the function of managing and translating information by catering to differences in the ways computer systems store and manage their data? | Presentation |
| What layer has the function of CRC generation/checking? | DataLink |
| What layer has the function of flow control? | Transport |
| What layer has the function of encryption? | Presentation |
| What layer has the function of authentication? | Application |
| What layer has the function of network access? | DataLink |
| What layer has the function of reliable data delivery? | Transport |
| What layer has the function of determining what way data is placed on network media? | Physical |
| What does CRC stand for? | Cyclic Redundancy Check |
| Describe what fragmentation is: | When data being sent is bigger than the allowable packet size, the transport layer breaks the data into smaller, manageable chunks that will fit inside two or more packets. |
| Describe error correction/management: | Process in the transport layer that confirms whether transmitted packets have reached their destination intact (or at all) and retransmits them if they haven't. |
| What is the management of the flow of data? | A process in the transport layer that ensures that packets are sent at a pace that is suitable for the receiving device and for general network conditions. |
| What layer sets up, manages and terminates the data connections (called sessions) between network devices. | Session |
| Session layer enables what function? | Network systems to exchange data. |
| What layers represents the network related program code and functions running on the computer system? | Application |
| What is TCP/IP? | A suite of protocols that were based on the Department of Defence Model which preceds the OSI Model. |
| What are the layers of the TCP/IP DoD Model? | Application Layer, Transport aka Host-to-Host Layer, Internet and Network Interface. |
| What layers in the OSI model is represented in the Application Layer of the TCP/IP DoD Model? | application layer, presentation layer and session layer. |
| What layer in the OSI model is represented in the transport aka host-to-host layer in the TCP/IP DoD Model? | Transport |
| What layer in the OSI model is represented in the Internet Layer of the TCP/IP DoD Model? | Network |
| How does the Network Interface Layer in the TCP/IP DoD model correspond with the OSI Model? | Consists of the Data Link Layer and Physical Layer in OSI model. |
| Name 5 protocols that you likely encouter every day in the application layer of the TCP/IP DoD Model: | FTP, Telnet, SMTP, SNMP, NNTP, DNS, HTTP, POP, HTTPS, DHCP, TFTP, NTP |
| What protocols provide transport services for the application layer protocol? | TCP (transmission control protocol) and UDP (Universal datagram protocol) |
| Characteristics of TCP: | Connection-Oriented, Segments contain sequence numbers, uses PAR, controls segment size, flow control, the rate at which data is exchanged, and network traffic congestion |
| Describe PAR: | Positive Acknowledgement and Retransmission : Source device starts a timer when it sends a segment and retransmits if an acknowledment is not received before the timer expires. |
| What is flow control? | Ability for the receiver of the TCP traffic to govern amount of data sent by sender. |
| What is UDP primarily used for? And how does it deal with tranmission errors? | Speed and relies on the protocols to detect transmission erros and retransmit data. |
| What does TCP and UDP have in common? | Use of ports |
| What is a port? | Identifiers in the TCP and UDP encapsulations that tell neighbor devices operating at the transport layer what application layer protocol the traffic is destined for. |
| What is the destination ports? | Are the port numbers that tell the receiver to pass the TCP and UDP traffic up to the specific Application Layer Protocol. |
| What is the source ports? | Port numbers randomly chosen above the number 1023 and is used as a means for the sender and receiver to distinguish multiple applications using the same protocol. |
| What protocol is the dominate protocol in the Internet Layer? | IP |
| What are other protocol that support IP? | ICMP (Internet Control Messaging Protocol) and ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) |
| Purpose of ARP? | Address Resolution Protocol - allows devices to resolve IP address to data link physical address (MAC address) |
| Purpose of ICMP? | Internet Control Messaging Protocol - Ping to test IP connectivity and Trace Route to determin the route taken by IP packet. |
| What occurs in the Network Interface Layer? | TCP/IP protocols will be encapsulated into frames such as Ethernet, PPP, HDLC and Frame-Relay and out a physical interface on its journey to the final destination. |
