OSI Model Key Terms Table
Use the table to define the key terms related to the OSI Model. Describe the functions of any hardware connectivity devices and tools listed.
Term | Definition | Function (if applicable) | Physical layer | Allows hardware to interact with physical device | Communication of sending and receive data from physical hardware. | Data link layer | This layer handles errors that are could be formed in the physical layer. | Flow control for Synchronous | Network layer | Allows procedures which allow data to be transferred from one network to another. | Allows, maintains and closes network links between …show more content…
| This layer can allow connection requests or access file transfer services. | Signaling | Method for utilizing electrical, light, energy, or radio waves to convey data in between networked computers. | Electrical signals are possibly the most typical. They can understand data by the current state or the transition method. | Synchronous | Data Sent or received to occur in Regular intervals | | Asynchronous | Data that is send and received irregular intervals. | | Bandwidth | The amount of information that can be carried on a medium. | | Point-to-point topology | Two nodes that are linked together directly on a network | Used in a Peer-to-peer network | Multipoint connection | Three or more devices are connected by a single connection. | Helps with device identity | MAC | Media Access Control is used to send information to the intended device. | Exclusive to each unit on network. | LLC | This Layer is what makes up the Data Link Layer of the OSI mode. | | SAP | Service Access Point used as network endpoints. | SAPs allow LLC to see what protocol is being utilized.
