What is layer 1-Physical
Contrails hardware, electrical and mechanical characteristics. Defines how to transmit the electrical pulses or raw bits
Examples of Layer 1
DSL, ISDN, SONET/SDH, USB Ect…
What is Layer 2-Data link
LLC-Provides addressing (MAC not IP), error and flow control.
MAC- Determines who is allowed to access the media and frame synchroniztion
Examples of Layer 2
ATM, 802.2, 802.3, Frame Relay, Ethernet, MAC addresses
What is Layer 3-Network
Provides packet forwarding and routing
What is Layer 4-Transprot
Moves data along the network (segmenting and sequencing)
Examples of Layer 4
TCP and UDP
What is Layer 5-Session
Communication establishment, defining communication parameters, maintaining communications, and teardown of communications
