Physical layer :
1.
Prepare the physical devices enabling devices for transmission of data and data is received.
It is responsible for establish and termination of connection between two nodes over a network.
It defines the medium of transmission of data like: simple(one way transmission,eg t.v),half duplex(two way
transmission but partially,eg: walki talki), full duplex(Two way transmission of data, eg: mobile or phone)
It provides permission to devices for gain access to data.It controlling devices over a netwrork.
Data is sent to Network layer in the form of packets and it is responsible to controls error checking and packet
synchronization.
3. Network layer :
In a network each node(computer) has a unique address here network layer is responsible for letting the data to its
destination address or node.

It splits the data or message into several fragments, delivering each fragment by a separate route and reassembling
the fragments, report delivery errors, etc.(like phone calls which you made, first it sounds like beep that is a second
which it take to you to connect with available line.)
4. Transport layer :
It manages connection and handle errors while delivering of data or message over a network.
