OSI TCP/IP model Flashcards
The 4 layered TCP/IP model layers
Application (Application, Presentation, Session)
Transport (Transport)
Internet (Network)
Network Access (Data Link, Physical)
Application Layer.
Brief Description and layer number
Allows a client application to access resources on a network using various Protocols
Layer 7
Data Link Layer
Frames data for placement on the local network link
Layer 2
Data Link Layer’s Protocol Data Unit (PDU)
Frames
Network Layer’s Protocol Data Unit (PDU)
A Packet
Transport Layer’s Protocol Data Uni (PDU)
A Segment
Layer 5 and above Protocol Data Unit
Data
Physical Layer’s Protocol Data Unit (PDU)
A bit
Encapsulation and Decapsulation
Data travelling down each of the OSI layers. At each layer a header and sometimes a trailer is added to the original data.
Once it reaches the physical layer it is sent across the network as a signal to the receiving device and Decapsulation does the same process but in reverse order.
Which Layer do Hubs and Repeaters live on ?
Layer 1
Physical Layer
Only effective in small LANs
Layer 1
Physical
Layer 1 devices
Repeaters, Hubs
Layer 2
Data Link
Layer 2 Devices
Standard Switches (L2 Switches)
Layer 3
Network
Layer 3 Devices
Routers
Multi Layer Switches
Layer 4
Transport
Layer 5
Session
