Data Segments Packets Frames Bits
Provides services to lower layers. Enables program-to-program communication and determines whether sufficient resources exist for communication. Examples are e-mail gateways (SMTP), TFTP,
FTP, and SNMP.
- Application Layer
Presents information to the Application Layer. Compression, data conversion, encryption, and standard formatting occur here. Contains data formats JPEG, MPEG, MIDI, and TIFF.
- Presentation Layer
Establishes and maintains communication ‘sessions’ between applications (dialogue control). Sessions
can be simplex (one direction only), half duplex (one direction at a time), or full duplex (both ways simultaneously). Session Layer keeps different applications data separate from other applications.
Protocols include NFS, SQL, X Window, RPC, ASP, and NetBios Names.
- Session Layer
Responsible for end-to-end integrity of data transmissions and establishes a logical connection between sending and receiving hosts via ‘virtual circuits.’ Windowing works at this level to control how much information is transferred before acknowledgement is required.
Data is segmented and reassembled at this layer. Port numbers are used to keep track of different conversations crossing the network at the same time. Supports TCP, UDP, SPX, and NBP. Segmentation works here (Segments) and error correction (not detection).
- Transport Layer
Routes data from one node to another and determines the best path to take. Routers operate at this level. Network addresses are used here, which are used for routing (Packets). Routing tables, subnetting, and control of network congestion occur here. Routing protocols, regardless of which protocol they run over, reside here: IP, IPX, ARP, IGRP, and Appletalk.
- Network Layer
Sometimes referred to as the LAN layer. Responsible for the physical transmission of data from one node to another. Error detection occurs here. Packets are translated into frames here and hardware address is added. Bridges and switches operate at this layer.
- Data Link Layer
Manages communications between devices over a single link on a network. Uses Service Access Points (SAPs) to help lower layers talk to the Network Layer.
Logical Link Control sublayer (LLC) 802.2:
Builds frames from the 1s and 0s that the Physical Layer
(address = 6 byte/48 bit) picks up from the wire as a digital signal and runs a Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) to assure no bits were lost or corrupted.
Media Access Control sublayer (MAC) 802.3:
Puts data onto the wire and takes it off. Physical Layer specifications, such as the connectors, voltage, physical data rates, and DTE/DCE interfaces. Some common implementations include Ethernet/IEEE 802.3, FastEthernet, and Token Ring/IEEE 802.5.
- Physical Layer
Purpose is to switch traffic as quickly as possible. Fast transport to enterprise services (Internet, etc.). No packet manipulation, VLANs, access-lists. High-speed access required, such as FDDI and ATM.
Core Layer
Time-sensitive manipulation, such as routing, filtering, and WAN access. Broadcast/multicast, media translations, security.
Distribution Layer
Switches and routers; segmentation occurs here, as well as workgroup access. Static (not dynamic) routing.
