🗑
Provides an interface between the communications software and any applications that need to communicate outside the computer on which the application resides. It also defines processes for user authentication.   Layer 7  
🗑
This layer’s main purpose is to define and negotiate data formats, such as ASCII text, EBCDIC text, binary, BCD, and JPEG. Encryption also is defined by OSI as a presentation layer service.   Layer 6  
🗑
Which layer provides a set of interfaces for applications to obtain access to network services?   Application  
🗑
This layer handles general network access, movement of data and error recovery for applications.   Application  
🗑
An example of software that resides at this layer include FTP, HTTP as well as client software such as Novell's client.   Layer 7  
🗑
This layer handles data format information for network communications.   Presentation  
🗑
This layer converts data into a generic format that can survive the rigors of transmission.   Layer 6  
🗑
This layer can handle protocol conversion, data encryption or decryption, character set issues and graphics commands.   Presentation  
🗑
A redirector that intercepts requests for service from the computer and sends them to the network for servicing operates at this layer   Presentation  
🗑
An example of functionality at this layer would be a Web browser displaying graphic files embedded in a Web page.   Presentation  
🗑
This layer can handle character conversion such as a carriage return in different systems such as PC, Linux and Unix.   Layer 6  
🗑
This layer is what permits two parties to hold ongoing communications.   Layer 5  
🗑
This layer handles session setup, data or message exchanges and teardown when the session ends.   Layer 5  
🗑
Some of the network functions handled by this layer include name lookup and user login and logout.   Layer 5  
🗑
Domain Name System resolution and NetBIOS name resolution operate at this layer.   Layer 5  
🗑
This layer manages the mechanics of an ongoing communication including identifying which side may transmit data when and for how long.   Layer 5  
🗑
This layer provides synchronization services between tasks on both ends of a connection.   Layer 5  
🗑
This layer manages the conveyance of data and flow control.   Layer 4  
🗑
This layer segments long data payloads into chunks that match the maximum packet size for the network medium.   Layer 4  
🗑
This layer makes sure that the recipient of transmitted data is not overwhelmed with more data than it can handle.   Layer 4  
🗑
The components that work at this layer include the TCP portion of TCP/IP and the SPX portion of IPX/SPX.   Layer 4  
🗑
This layer handles addressing messages for delivery.   Layer 3  
🗑
This layer translates logical network addresses into their physical counterparts.   Layer 3  
🗑
This layer decides how to route transmissions from sender to receiver.   Layer 3  
🗑
This layer is considered the traffic cop for network activity because it handles packet switching, data routing, and congestion control.   Layer 3  
🗑
Routers operate at this layer.   Layer 3  
🗑
This layer handles delivery of frames from sender to receiver through the Physical layer.   Layer 2  
🗑
The NIC driver operates at this layer.   Layer 2  
🗑
This layer is responsible for detecting errors in the transmission of frames.   Layer 2  
🗑
The hardware that operate at this layer are NIC cards and switches.   Layer 2  
🗑
This layer is responsible for converting bits into signals for outgoing messages.   Layer 1  
🗑
This layer manages the computer's interface to the network medium.   Layer 1  
🗑
This layer is where specification of all details for creating a network connection occur.   Layer 1  
🗑
The components working at this layer include all of the cables and connectors used on the medium, plus repeaters and hubs.   Layer 1  
🗑
This layer encodes ones and zeros, the timing and interpretation of signals sent across the medium.   Layer 1  
🗑
This layer usually provides services such as email, web browsing, and file transer services.   Layer 7  
🗑
This layer uses FTP, SNMP and POP3.   Layer 7
