Resource summary
OSI Model
Open System Interconnection
Defines how messages should be transmitted from one device to another
Application (layer 7)
Supports application and end user processes
Partners identified, quality identified, user authentication and privacy considered
Constraints on data syntax identified
Application specific
Presentation (Layer 6) - sometimes known as syntax layer
Provides independence from differences in data representation (encryption)
Translate from application to network format
Works to transform data into form that application layer can accept it
Encrypts data to be sent across a network
Session (Layer 5)
Establishes, manages and terminates connections between applications
Sets up, coordinates, and terminates exchanges between applications at each end.
Deals with session and connection coordination
Transport (Layer 4)
Provides transparent transfer of data between end systems, or hosts and is responsible for end to end error recovery and flow control
Ensures complete data transfer
Network (Layer 3)
Provides switching and routing technologies, creating logical paths known as virtual circuits for transmitting data from node to node
Addressing, inter-networking, error handling, congestion control and packet sequencing
Data Link (Layer 2)
Data packets encoded and decoded into bits.
Handles errors in physical layer, flow control and frame sync
2 sub-layers
Media Access Control (MAC)
Controls how network gains access to data and permission to transmit it
Logical Link Control (LLC)
Controls frame sync, flow control and error checking
Physical (Layer 1)
Coveys bit stream
Electrical impulse, light or radio signal
Provides hardware means of sending and receiving data on a carrier
Benefits
Independent of country
Any hardware/ software that meets OSI standard can communicate
Consumers have a wider range of choice
Not dependant on operating system
