TCP/IP Stack and OSI Model Flashcards
What is the OSI Model?
A standard architecture that defines network communications
True or False: The OSI Model is a competing standard to the TCP/IP Model?
True
What are the 7 layers of the OSI Model?
- Physical Layer
- Datalink Layer
- Network Layer
- Session Layer
- Transport Layer
- Presentation Layer
- Application Layer
What layer does the network aware application reside?
Layer 7 - Application
DNS and DHCP reside at which layer of the OSI Model?
Layer 7 - Application
Which layer synchronizes and establishes and agreement on procedures for error recovery and control of data integrity?
Layer 7 - Application
What layer generifies a request into something that is more understandable for computers to understand?
Layer 6 - Presentation
HTML, JPEG, MP3 live on this layer
Layer 6 - Presentation
This layer formats and uses generic encryption for data
Layer 6 - Presentation
SSL Encryption happens at this layer
Layer 6 - Presentation
This layer establishes, manages, and terminates sessions between two communicating hosts
Layer 5 - Session
This layer manages the session with Keep Alive to keep the session running
Layer 5 - Session
The Application, Presentation and the Session layers are known as the ________________ layers
Computer
What are the two major functions of the Transport layer
Establishing the protocol (TCP, UDP, ICMP, etc.) and the port that that protocol will use
This layer breaks down large files into smaller segments that are less likely to incur transmission problems
Layer 4 - Transport
True or False: Flow control is the process of adjusting the flow of data from the sender to ensure that the receiving host can handle all of it
True
What layer does Flow Control live at?
Layer 4 - Transport
What is session multiplexing?
The process of tracking and keeping control of the different sessions on a host
This layer defines services to segment, transfer and reassemble the data for individual communications between the end devices
Layer 4 - Transport
This layer tells the data where to go
Layer 3 - Network
This is the layer of logical addressing
Layer 3 - Network
This layer is responsible for QoS
Layer 3 - Network
IP Addresses live at this layer
Layer 3 - Network
What is TTL?
It’s Time to Live. It works to keep a packet from looping on forever
This layer provides connectivity and path selection between two host systems that may be located on geographically separated networks.
Layer 3 - Network
What is the maximum size of an ethernet packet by default
1500 byte MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit)
This layer deal with the physical address
Layer 2 - Datalink
How many bits is a MAC Address?
48 bit hexadecimal
Frames live at this layer
Layer 2 - Datalink
Packets live at this layer
Layer 3 - Network
Segments reside on this layer
Layer 4 - Transport
Spanning Tree Protocol is used on which layer?
Layer 2 - Datalink
