OSI LAYERS: A + P | Application layer: describes the interface between applications, on separate computers Presentation layer: is responsible for reformatting, compressing and/or encrypting data in a way that the receiving application can read |
OSI LAYERS: S + T | Session layer: describes how the data on applications are synced and recovered if the messages don't arrive intact on the receiving application Transport layer: transports the Application layer payloads from one application to another |
OSI LAYERS: N + D + P | Network layer: is responsible for moving messages from one node to another until it reaches its destination host Data link: puts control information in the data link header and at the end of a packet in a trailer |
OSI LAYERS: P | Physical layer: is responsible for sending bits via a wired or wireless transmission |
