Q

Data - link layer main characteristic

A

1) defines how data is formatted for transmission and how access to physical media is controlled

( how data is formatted) +( how access to information is controlled)

2) also includes error detection and correction to ensure reliable delivery of data

Q

Session layer does what ?

A

establishes, manages and terminates sessions between two hosts

21
Q

Application layer does what ?

A

establishes the availability of intended communication partner , synchronizes and establishes agreements on procedures for error recovery

22
Q

Presentation layer does what ?

A

ensures that information sent at the application layer of one system is readable by application layer on another.

23
Q

why is OSI used

A

How computer networking protocol work with each other
