OSI Model Flashcards
List the 7 layers of the OSI Model in ORDER from HIGHEST to LOWEST
Application
Presentation
Session
Transport
Network
Data link
Physical
The lowest layer of the OSI model. It is concerned with the transmission and reception of the unstructured raw bit stream over a physical medium. It describes the electrical/optical, mechanical, and functional interfaces to the physical medium, and carries the signals for all of the higher layers.
Physical
Controls the operation of the subnet, deciding which physical path the data should take based on network conditions, priority of service, and other factors.
Network Layer
Serves as the window for users and application processes to access network services. This layer contains a variety of commonly needed functions.
Application Layer
Provides error-free transfer of data frames from one node to another over the physical layer, allowing layers above it to assume virtually error-free transmission over the link.
Data Link Layer
Allows session establishment between processes running on different stations.
Session Layer
Formats the data to be presented to the application layer. It can be viewed as the translator for the network. This layer may translate data from a format used by the application layer into a common format at the sending station, then translate the common format to a format known to the application layer at the receiving station.
Presentation Layer
Ensures that messages are delivered error-free, in sequence, and with no losses or duplications. It relieves the higher layer protocols from any concern with the transfer of data between them and their peers.
