LAYERED TASKS
We use the concept of layers in our daily life. As an example, let us consider two
friends who communicate through postal mail. The process of sending a letter to
a friend would be complex if there were no services available from the post office.

LAYERS IN THE OSI MODEL
In this section we briefly describe the functions of each layer in the OSI model.
8
Physical layer
The physical layer is responsible for movements of
individual bits from one hop (node) to the next.
Data
Data can
can be
be analog
analog or
or digital
digital
9
Data link layer
The data link layer is responsible for moving
frames from one hop (node) to the next.
10
Hop-to-hop delivery
11
Network layer
The network layer is responsible for the delivery of individual packets from
the source host to the destination host.
12
Source-to-destination delivery
13
Transport layer
The transport layer is responsible for the delivery
of a message from one process to another.
14
Reliable process-to-process delivery of a
message
15
Session layer
The session layer is responsible for dialog control and synchronization.
16
Presentation layer
The presentation layer is responsible for translation, compression, and
encryption.
17
Application layer
The application layer is responsible for providing services to the user.
