7.Application

OSI Model Layer


1.Cables, Physical objects

2.MAC Address, Network Cards, Switches, Bridges.

3.Routers

4.Assembly, Disassembly area for Data as it gets broken down into packets, makes
sure they get to where they are going

5.Actual Connection between two systems, TCP Connection between a web server and a
web client, E-mail, sharing a folder between two computers on a local network, And
it is the session layer that defines what's taking place in terms of how that
connectivity really works.

6.The presentation layer is old and weird, but since it is on the OSI we need to at
least make a quick mention of it. Just because a big chunk of data comes into your
computer does that necessarily mean that this data is in a form that your computer
can read it?
Let's use Microsoft Office as an example. If I open up Office I can open up almost
any kind of document you can dream of. Office has the smarts built into it to
automatically read it.
But that was not always the case. So the presentation layer used to be used to
convert data into a format that your applications can read.

7.What we're talking about is the smarts in the applications that make them network
aware. Little simple things that you and I never think of. For example, if we were
to open up Microsoft Word and we could literally go to the network to go find a
particular file.
And that is becuase Microsoft Office itself is network aware.
We often use the term API, or Application Programmers Interface, as the definition
of the smarts that are built into an application that allows us to make the
application network aware.

TCP/IP Model Layer


1.All the physical Cabling, MAC Addresses, Network Cards, Pretty much everything of
hardware with a couple of small exceptions, routers are all covered here under
network interface. So that ties similarly to the data link and physical for the
OSI.

2.Your internet for IP Addresses. So things like routers or anythign it has to do


with an IP Address works at the internet layer.

3.Now transport does all of the assembly and disassembly but it also has to do with
whatever it takes to connect to the other system to make sure the data gets there.
So in this case we're talking about things like, for example TCP or UDP or whatever
it takes to get those chunks of data from one application to the next

4.So application actually takes into consideration the old OSI application,
presentation and session layer.So everything that has to do with the application
itself works at this layer.
Now keep in mind that the TCP/IP model looks at this a little bit differently than
OSI.
TCP model looks at applications as applications for example email or FTP or telnet.
All of these very distinct things that each have their unique port numbers all play
into this one particular area.
