a description of layered communications and computer network protocol and transmission design
OSI Model
OSI
Open System Interconnection Reference Model
This provides a standardized approach to understanding how data is transmitted across networks.
OSI Model
This is a conceptual model and not a physical implementation
OSI Model
7 Layers of OSI Model
Layer 7: Application
Layer 6: Presentation
Layer 5: Session
Layer 4: Transport
Layer 3: Network
Layer 2: Data Link
Layer 1: Physical

Sequence of layers when receiving data
Layer 1 to 7/Physical to Application
This is responsible for the transmission of raw bit streams over a physical medium.
Physical Layer/Layer 1
Physical Layer Functions
Bit Transmission
Physical Connection
Signal Encoding
Bit Synchronization
Error Detection
This converts digital data into electrical signal or light pulses suitable for transmission.
Bit Transmission
This defines the physical characteristics of the network, such as cables, connectors, and interfaces.
Physical Connection
This determines how bits are represented as signals
Signal Encoding
This ensures that the sender and receiver clocks are synchronized
Bit Synchronization
This implements basic error detection techniques like parity checking
Error Detection
This is responsible for reliable data transfer between nodes on a network segment
Data Link/Layer 2
This bridges the gap between the physical layer’s raw bit transmission and the network layer’s logical addressing
Data Link/Layer 2
Data Link Functions
Framing
Physical Addressing
Error Detection and Correction
Flow Control
This divides the data into smaller units called frames
Framing
This adds a header and trailer to each frame, containing control information like source and destination addresses, error-checking codes, and sequence numbers
Framing
This assigns unique physical addresses (MAC Addresses) to each Network Interface Card (NIC).
Physical Addressing
This uses addresses to identify devices on the same network segment
Physical Addressing
This employs techniques like Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) to detect errors in transmitted data.
