Day3 - OSI Model & TCP - IP Suite
Day3 - OSI Model & TCP - IP Suite
- Networking models categorize and provide a structure for networking protocols and
standards.
- OSI means 'Open Systems Interconnection' model
- OSI is a conectual model that categorizes and standardizes the different function
in a network.
- Created by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO)
-----------------------------------------------------
#OSI Network functions are divided into 7 'Layers' & is encapsulated as follow:
Layer 7: Application
*Closest to the end user.
*Interacts with software applications (e.g., web browsers like Brave,
Firefox, Chrome).
*Functions include identifying communication partners and synchronizing
communication.
Layer 6: Presentation
*Data in the application layer is in its native 'application format'.
*Requires translation to a different format for network transmission.
*Responsible for translating between application and network formats.
*Examples include encryption of outgoing data and decryption of
incoming data.
Layer 5: Session
*Controls dialogues (sessions) between communicating hosts.
*Establishes, manages, and terminates connections between local and
remote applications (e.g., web browser and YouTube).
Layer 4: Transport
*Segments and reassembles data for communication between end hosts.
*Breaks large data into smaller segments for efficient transmission and
error handling.
*Facilitates host-to-host communication.
Layer 3: Network
*Provides connectivity between end hosts on different networks (e.g.,
LANs).
*Offers logical addressing (IP addresses) and path selection between
source and destination.
*Routers operate at Layer 3.
Layer 1: Physical
*Specifies standards for cables and interfaces.
*Defines physical characteristics of the medium used for data transfer
between devices.
*Includes voltage levels, maximum transmission distances, connectors,
cable specifications, etc.
*Converts digital bits into electrical signals for wired connections or
radio signals for wireless connections.
*All details in Day 2's video (cables, pin layouts, etc.) relate to the
Physical Layer.

#TCP/IP Suite
• Conceptual model and set of communications protocols used in the Internet and
other networks.
• Known as TCP/IP because those are two of the foundational protocols in the suite.
• NOTE: The OSI model still influences how network engineers think and talk about
networks.

OSI vs TCP/IP
Layer 4: Application
*Corresponds to Layers 7, 6, and 5 of the OSI model.
*Handles application-level protocols and user interfaces.
*Examples include HTTP, FTP, SMTP, and DNS.
Layer 3: Transport
*Corresponds to Layer 4 of the OSI model.
*Manages end-to-end communication, ensuring data integrity and
reliability.
*Protocols include TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) and UDP (User
Datagram Protocol).
Layer 2: Internet
*Corresponds to Layer 3 of the OSI model.
*Handles addressing, routing, and packet forwarding.
*Protocol: IP (Internet Protocol).

Q/A
Q1.HTTP data sent from a YouTube web server is displayed via your web browser. This
is an example of what?
a) Adjacent-layer interaction
d) De-encapsulation
Explanation:
- Interaction between the different OSI layers on the same device is called [...]
interaction.
- adjacent-layer
