Seven Layers of The OSI Model

The document discusses the seven layers of the OSI model. The physical layer deals with physical connections and transmitting bits between nodes. The data link layer handles logical connections, framing, addressing, flow control, and error control. The network layer implements routing, logical addressing, congestion handling, and internetworking. The transport layer provides process-to-process delivery, error control, flow control, and connection-oriented or connectionless services. The session layer controls dialogues and provides synchronization. The presentation layer handles syntax and semantics mismatches as well as encoding, encryption, and compression. The application layer interacts with application programs and contains functions to support distributed applications.

Seven layers of the OSI model

Exchange using OSI Model

OSI Model (revisited)

Physical layer
physical connection

Transporting bits from one end node to the next


- type of the transmission media (twisted-pair, coax, optical fiber, air) - bit representation (voltage levels of logical values) - data rate (speed) --Mode (simplex,duplex) - synchronization of bits (time synchronization)
4

Data Link layer


logical connection

Transporting frames from one end node to the next one - framing - physical addressing - flow control - access control
5

- error control

OSI Model

Network Layer
Implements routing of frames (packets) through the network.- ROUTING Defines the most optimum path the packet should take from the source to the destination. Defines logical addressing so that any endpoint can be identified. IP addressing Handles congestion in the network. Facilitates interconnection between heterogeneous networks (Internetworking).
6

Transport Layer
Process to Process delivery of data.

Service Point addressingPort address


Ensures that the data units are delivered error free.Error control end to end

Ensures that data units are delivered in sequence.


Ensures that there is no loss or duplication of data units.Flow control end to end

Provides connectionless or connection oriented service.

OSI Model

Session Layer
Dialog control: Session layer provides mechanism for controlling the dialogue between the two end system processes. It defines how to start, control and end conversations (called sessions) between applications. This layer provides services like dialogue discipline which can be full duplex or half duplex. Synchronization: Session layer can also provide checkpointing mechanism such that if a failure of some sort occurs between checkpoints, all data can be retransmitted from the last checkpoint.

OSI Model

Presentation Layer
Deals with syntax and semantics mismatch.
Presentation layer defines the format in which the data is to be exchanged between the two communicating entities. --Encoding format Also handles data compression encryption (cryptography). and data

OSI Model

Application Layer
Application layer interacts with application programs and is the highest level of OSI model.
Virtual network terminal: Allows user to remote login. Application layer contains management functions to support distributed applications. Examples of application layer are applications such as file transfer, electronic mail, remote login etc.

QUESTIONS
Why error control and flow control is implemented at transport layer when it is already implemented at data link layer ?

Where following addresses are used: 1. MAC address 2. IP address 3. Port address
