What is One-Way/Simplex?
Layer 5
only 1 system is allowed to send messages. The other just receives them.
What is Two-Way Alternative/ half duplex?
Layer 5
Host has system to take turns to send messages. (exchanging tokens).
What is Two Way Simultaneous/Duplex?
Either host can send messages at anytime
Physical Layer 1
physical stuff like copper cables and fibre optic
Data Link Layer 2
works with MAC address.
NIC and Switches
Ethernet
Switching
Network Layer 3
Logical Addresses: IP address and routers
smaller packets.
moves data
routing
Transport Layer 4
End-to-End
TCP or UDP
Disassembles packets
Gives Port numbers
Application Layer 6
supports apps requiring network services
