1.1 OSI Model

The OSI model was developed to standardize network communication and allow different networks to communicate. It defines a 7-layer model that describes how information moves between applications on different hosts. Each layer provides independent and specific functions, from physical transmission of bits to high-level applications, enabling continuous improvements without changing the whole system.

OSI Model
● Generic enough model that allows continuous improvements
without having to change everything

● Why?
○ Each layer fulfills only a part of the whole problem.
○ Each layer provides a service without knowing what the
others are doing (independence between layers).

OSI Model
● Example
○ Layer 3 (network) is concerned with delivering
information as best it can from a source host to a
destination host.

■ Transmission speed → Physical
■ If using a cable or an antenna → Physical
■ What application is generating this information → Application
■ What this information carries (text, audio, etc.) → Presentation
■ If it is lost → Transport
■ If it creates a contention with other information on a network → Data link
