What is a networking model?
a structure for networking protocols/standards
What is a protocol
Set of logical rules defining how network devices and software should work
Is the OSI model in use today and what does it stand for
No. but it’s impact is still felt today. Open systems interconnection.
Who created OSI
International Organization for Standardization. ISO.
How many network functions in OSI
- p, d, n, t, s, p, a
Application Layer.
Layer 7
Closest to the user.
Has protocols that interact with applications like web browser. HTTP HTTPS and SMTP
Data in this layer is in the application format.
List Layer 7 protocols
HTTP HTTPs SMTP
Functions of Layer 7
Identifying communication partners,
Synchronizing communication.
Allowed by Same Layer interaction.
Encapsulation
placement of data from a higher-layer protocol behind the header of the next lower layer protocol.
De-encapsilation
headers are removed as data is processed up the stack.
Same Layer interaction
Two devices set values in the header send header and encapsulated data then receiving device interpreting the header to decide what action to take.
Presentation Layer
Translate application layer to a different format to be sent over the network.
Presentation Layer
Translate application data to the appropriate format.
Function of layer 6
Encryption of data as it is sent, and decryption of data as it is received.
Session Layer
Control dialogues (sessions) between communicating hosts.
Function of layer 5
Establishes manages, and terminates connections between the local app, your browser, and a remote app, Youtube.
Frist three layers do what?
Send data to the bottom four, then bottom four do the work of sending data
Transport layer
Breaks large pieces of data into smaller segments, which can be more easily sent over the network and less likely to cause transmission problems if error occus.
