Q

Define the Application Layer (7)

A

This layer is the closest layer to the end-user. The Application Layer usually provides services such as e-mail (SNMP and POP3), web browsing (using HTTP), and file transfer services (using FTP). The Application Layer determines resource availability.

Q

Define the Presentation Layer (6)

A

The Presentation Layer presents data to the Application Layer. Multimedia works here, so think mp4, jpeg, gif, etc. Encryption, decryption, and data compression also take place at this layer.

Q

Define the Session Layer (5)

A

The role of the Session Layer is to set up, manage, and terminate sessions or dialogues between devices. These take place over logical links, and what is really happening is the joining of two software applications. SQL, RPC, and NFS all work at the Session Layer.

Q

Define the Transport Layer (4)

A

The role of the Transport Layer is to break down the data from the higher layers into smaller parts, which are referred to as segments (at this layer). Virtual circuits are set up here, which are required before devices can communicate.

Q

What is Flow Control?

A

If the receiving system is being sent more information than it can process, it will ask the sending system to stop for a short time. This normally happens when one side uses broadband and the other uses a dial-up modem. The packet sent telling the other device to stop is known as a source quench message.

Q

What is Windowing?

A

With windowing, each system agrees upon how much data is to be sent before an acknowledgment is required. This “window” opens and closes as data moves along in order to maintain a constant flow.

Q

What are Acknowledgements?

A

When a certain amount of segments is received, the fact that they all arrived safely and in the correct order needs to be communicated to the sending system.

Q

What is the Three-Way Handshake?

A

This is where you send a packet to establish the session. This first packet is called a synchronise (SYN) packet. Then the remote device responds with a synchronise acknowledgement (SYN-ACK) packet. The session is established in the third phase when an acknowledgement (ACK) packet is sent.

Q

Define the Network Layer (3)

A

The Network Layer takes the segments from the Transport Layer and breaks them down into smaller units called packets. The Network Layer must determine the best path to take from one network to another; for this reason, routers work at this layer. Routers use logical addressing here, and TCP/ IP addressing is called IP addressing.

Q

Define the Data Link Layer (2)

A

The Data Link Layer chops down packets into smaller units referred to as frames. Layer 2 switches work at this layer and use hardware or MAC addresses, so they can switch traffic much faster because there is no need to check IP addresses and routing tables. WAN protocols work at Layer 2, including HDLC, ISDN, and PPP. Ethernet also works at Layer 2. In order to interface with the upper and lower levels, the Data Link Layer is further subdivided into the Logical Link Control (LLC) Sublayer and the Media Access Control (MAC) Sublayer. The LLC Sublayer interfaces with the Network Layer and the MAC

Q

Define the Physical Layer (1)

A

At this layer, frames are converted into bits for placing on the wire. These bits consist of electrical pulses, which are read as “on” and “off” bits, or in binary 1s and 0s, respectively. Hubs work at this layer, and here is where you will find cable specifications, such as RJ45.

Name each layer of the OSI model, from Layer 7 down to Layer 1.

A

Application, Presentation, Session, Transport, Network, Data Link, and Physical.

152
Q

The role of the Session Layer is to _______, _______, and _______ sessions or dialogues between devices.

A

Set up, manage, and terminate.

153
Q

What are the three methods used to control data flow at Layer 4?

A

Flow control, windowing, and acknowledgements.

154
Q

The Transport Layer includes several protocols, and the most widely known are _______ and _______.

A

TCP and UDP.

155
Q

Why is UDP used at all if TCP/ IP offers guaranteed delivery?\

A

TCP uses a lot of bandwidth on the network and there is a lot of traffic sent back and forth to set up the connection, even before the data is sent. This all takes up valuable time and network resources. UDP packets are a lot smaller than TCP packets and they are very useful if a really reliable connection is not that necessary. Protocols that use UDP include DNS and TFTP.

156

161
Q
