2-1 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.
Topics discussed in this section:

Sender, Receiver, and Carrier

2-2 THE OSI MODEL
Established in 1947, the International Standards
Organization (ISO) is a multinational body dedicated to
worldwide agreement on international standards. An ISO
standard that covers all aspects of network
communications is the Open Systems Interconnection
(OSI) model. It was first introduced in the late 1970s.

Layered Architecture
Peer-to-Peer Processes
Encapsulation
2.4
Note
ISO is the organization.

OSI is the model.

2-3 LAYERS IN THE OSI MODEL
In this section we briefly describe the functions of each

layer in the OSI model.

Physical Layer
Data Link Layer
Network Layer
Transport Layer
Session Layer
Presentation Layer
Application Layer

2.10
Note
The physical layer is responsible for movements of

individual bits from one hop (node) to the next.

2.12
Note
The data link layer is responsible for moving

frames from one hop (node) to the next.

The network layer is responsible for the

delivery of individual packets from
the source host to the destination host.

Note
The transport layer is responsible for the delivery

of a message from one process to another.

control and synchronization.

compression, and encryption.

2-4 TCP/IP PROTOCOL SUITE
The layers in the TCP/IP protocol suite do not exactly

match those in the OSI model. The original TCP/IP
protocol suite was defined as having four layers: host-to-
network, internet, transport, and application. However,
when TCP/IP is compared to OSI, we can say that the
TCP/IP protocol suite is made of five layers: physical,
data link, network, transport, and application.

2-5 ADDRESSING
Four levels of addresses are used in an internet employing

the TCP/IP protocols: physical, logical, port, and specific.

Physical Addresses
Logical Addresses
Port Addresses
Specific Addresses
2.31
Figure 2.17 Addresses in TCP/IP
2.32
Figure 2.18 Relationship of layers and addresses in TCP/IP
2.33
Example 2.1
In Figure 2.19 a node with physical address 10 sends a

frame to a node with physical address 87. The two nodes
are connected by a link (bus topology LAN). As the
figure shows, the computer with physical address 10 is
the sender, and the computer with physical address 87 is
the receiver.
2.34
Figure 2.19 Physical addresses
2.35
Example 2.2
Most local-area networks use a 48-bit (6-byte) physical

address written as 12 hexadecimal digits; every byte (2
hexadecimal digits) is separated by a colon, as shown
below:
07:01:02:01:2C:4B
A 6-byte (12 hexadecimal digits) physical address.
2.36
Example 2.3
Figure 2.20 shows a part of an internet with two routers

connecting three LANs. Each device (computer or
router) has a pair of addresses (logical and physical) for
each connection. In this case, each computer is
connected to only one link and therefore has only one
pair of addresses. Each router, however, is connected to
three networks (only two are shown in the figure). So
each router has three pairs of addresses, one for each
connection.
2.37
Figure 2.20 IP addresses
2.38
Example 2.4
Figure 2.21 shows two computers communicating via the

Internet. The sending computer is running three
processes at this time with port addresses a, b, and c. The
receiving computer is running two processes at this time
with port addresses j and k. Process a in the sending
computer needs to communicate with process j in the
receiving computer. Note that although physical
addresses change from hop to hop, logical and port
addresses remain the same from the source to
destination.
2.39
Figure 2.21 Port addresses
2.40
Note
The physical addresses will change from hop to hop,

but the logical addresses usually remain the same.
2.41
Example 2.5
A port address is a 16-bit address represented by one

decimal number as shown.
753
A 16-bit port address represented

as one single number.
