2.2 THE OSI MODEL
Layer
Designer identified which networking functions had related uses
and collected those functions into discrete groups that became the
layers.
The Each layer uses the services of the layer immediately below it.
Layered Architecture (cont’d)
The data portion of a packet at level N-1 carries the whole packet
from level N. – The concept is called encapsulation.
Physical Layer
Physical layer coordinates the functions required to
transmit a bit stream over a physical medium.
The physical layer is responsible for movements of
