OSI and TCP/IP model

OSI Model (Open Systems Interconnection)

Published in 1984 by the International Organization for Standardization (IOS). Using as a teaching tool to describe Network Architecture.

All People Seem To Need Data Processing

OSI model allows things to develop independent of other layers. Specific functionalities will be implement at a particular level.

OSI – Layer 7: Application

There are not programs, applications living in this layer, Application layer provides protocols, rules… to support actual applications that would be considered to be above the Application layer.

Application layer provides services to the user’s application

Services within the Application layer: file transfer, mail, web service, …

OSI – Layer 6: Presentation

Presentation layer provides services including data conversion, data compression, data encryption

Presentation layer ensures that data sent from sender application layer is readable at the receiver application layer.

Refers as translator makes the the data understandable when two systems communicate.

OSI – layer 5: Session

Session layer establishes, manages and terminates connection between two host

OSI – Layer 4: Transport

Deliver message to the destination, segmentation and reassembly data.

Responsibility for source to destination of the whole message

Manage communication between sender and receiver

OSI- Layer 3: Network

Responsible for sourse-to-destination delivery of packets

Using logical addresses (IP addresses) concept to deliver packet

Routing refers to network layer, find the best path to send the packets

OSI – layer 2: Data Link layer

Resposible for the exchange of frames between nodes

Using physical address

OSI – Layer 1: Physical layer

Physical layer identifies interface between network devices

Responsible for transfer bit over the physical medium

Refer as binary transmission

From layer 3 to layer 7, these layers implemented in software, layer 2 implemented both software and hardware, layer 1 implemented hardware.

Communication between layer and it counterparts when sending and receiving the data based on logical conversation.
