Q

Match OSI layers to with their descriptions.

A

Transport: Divides long communications into smaller data packages, and handles error recognition and correction

Datalink: Packages bits of data from the physical layer into frames

Network: Addresses data messages and translates logical addresses into physical ones

Physical: Transmits bits from one computer to another and regulates the transmission stream over a medium

Presentation: Translates application layer data to an intermediate form that provides security, encryption, and compression for the data

Application: Allows programs on a network node (computer) access network services, such as file transfers, electronic mail, and database access

Session: Establishes and controls data communication between applications operating on two computers
