Open Systems Interconnection (7 Layers)
What are the OSI Model/Stack seven layers
- Physical (Please)
- Data Link (Do)
- Network (Not)
- Transport (Throw)

MAC Address
Media Access Control Address - 48-bit Hexadecimal address assigned to NIC. First 24 bits represent vendor code, second 24 bits are a unique value.
Layer 1 (Physical) Examples
Cables (Ethernet, Fiber); RF (WiFi, Bluetooth); Infrastructure (Hub, WAP, Media Converter)
Layer 2 (Data Link) Examples
NIC; Bridges; Switches
LLC
Logical Link Control - sublayer of Data Link (Layer 2) that controls synchronization, multiplexing, flow control and error-checking.
Layer 3 (Network)
▪ Forwards Traffic with Logical Address (IP)
▪ Logical addressing
▪ Switching (Not Switches. Switches are Layer 2).
▪ Route Discovery and Selection
▪ Connection Services (Augments Layer 2 for improved reliability) - a.) Flow Control; b.) Packet reordering - supports sending packets over multiple links and routes.
Layer 3 (Network) Examples
▪ Routers
▪ Multilayer switches (Functions as Switch and Router)
▪ IPv4 protocol
▪ IPv6 protocol
▪ Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP)
Layer 4 (Transport)
▪ Dividing line between upper and lower layers
▪ Data is sent as segments
▪ TCP/UDP
▪ Windowing
▪ Buffering
TCP (Layer 4 Transport)
Transmission Control Protocol
▪ Connection-oriented protocol
▪ Reliable transport of segments- If segment dropped,
detects and resends
▪ Acknowledgements received for successful communications.
UDP (Layer 4 Transport)
▪ Connectionless protocol
▪ Unreliable transport of segments
▪ No retransmission
▪ Good for audio/video streaming
▪ Lower overhead for increased performance
