OSI Model & TCP/IP SUITE
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| categorize and provide a structure for networking protocols and standards. | Networking models |
| are a set of rules defining how network devices and software should work. | Protocols |
| A conceptual model that categorizes and standardizes the different functions in a network. | Open Systems Interconnection model |
| This layer is closest to the end user. Interacts with software applications, | Application Layer |
| - Data in the application layer is in “application format”. It needs to be translated into a different format to be sent over - the network - job is to translate between application and network formats. | Presentation Layer |
| Controls dialogues ( sessions) between communicating hosts. Establishes, manages, and terminates connections between the local application ( ex., your browser) and the remote application (ex. Youtube) | Session Layer |
| Network engineers don’t usually work with the top 3 layers. | The Upper Layers |
| - Segments and reassembles data for communications between end hosts. - Break large pieces of data into smaller segments that can be more easily sent over the network and are less likely to cause transmission problems if errors occur. | Transport Layer |
| - Provides connectivity between end hosts on different networks (ex., Outside of the LAN) - Provides logical addressing ( IP address) | Network Layer |
| - Provides node-to-node connectivity and data transfer (ex., PC to switch, switch to router, router to router). - Defines how data is formatted for transmission over a physical medium | Data Link Layer |
| - Defines physical characteristics of the medium used to transfer data between devices. - Ex. Voltage level, maximum transmission distances, physical connectors, cables specifications, etc. | Physical Layer |
| - Conceptual model and set of communications protocols used on the Internet and other networks. Similar structure to the OSI Model, but with fewer layers. - This model is use in modern networks. | TCP/IP Suite |
