OSI Model and Its Layers

The document summarizes the 7 layers of the OSI model. The physical layer deals with electrical signals and hardware transmission. The data link layer handles framing and error checking. The network layer provides switching, routing, addressing and error handling. The transport layer provides reliable data transfer and flow control between hosts. The session layer establishes and manages connections between applications. The presentation layer handles data formatting and encoding. The application layer supports application processes and identifies communication partners.

OSI Model and Its Layers

Physical Layer

OSI Model, Layer 1 conveys the bit stream -


electrical impulse, light or radio signal — through
the network at the electrical and mechanical level. It
provides the hardware means of sending and
receiving data on a carrier, including defining cables,
cards and physical aspects. Fast Ethernet, RS232,
and ATM are protocols with physical layer
components.
Data Link Layer
At OSI Model, Layer 2, data packets are encoded and
decoded into bits. It furnishes transmission protocol
knowledge and management and handles errors in the
physical layer, flow control and frame
synchronization. The data link layer is divided into
two sub layers: The Media Access Control (MAC)
layer and the Logical Link Control (LLC) layer. The
MAC sub layer controls how a computer on the
network gains access to the data and permission to
transmit it. The LLC layer controls frame
synchronization, flow control and error checking.
Network Layer

Layer 3 provides switching and routing


technologies, creating logical paths, known
as virtual circuits, for transmitting data from
node to node. Routing and forwarding are
functions of this layer, as well as addressing,
internetworking, error handling, congestion
control and packet sequencing.
Transport Layer

OSI Model, Layer 4, provides transparent transfer


of data between end systems, or hosts, and is
responsible for end-to-end error recovery and flow
control. It ensures complete data transfer
Session Layer
This layer establishes, manages and
terminates connections between
applications. The session layer sets
up, coordinates, and terminates
conversations, exchanges, and
dialogues between the applications at
each end. It deals with session and
connection coordination.
Presentation Layer
This layer provides independence from
differences in data representation (e.g.,
encryption) by translating from application
to network format, and vice versa. The
presentation layer works to transform data
into the form that the application layer can
accept. This layer formats and encrypts data
to be sent across a network, providing
freedom from compatibility problems. It is
sometimes called the syntax layer.
Application Layer
OSI Model, Layer 7, supports application
and end-user processes. Communication
partners are identified, quality of service
is identified, user authentication and
privacy are considered, and any
constraints on data syntax are identified.
Everything at this layer is application-
specific. This layer provides application
services for file transfers, e-mail, and
other network software services. Telnet
and FTP are applications that exist
entirely in the application level. Tiered
application architectures are part of this
layer.
