What is the OSI Model? The OSI model is a reference model which most IT professionals and network applications. use to describe networks The OSI model was originally intended to describe a complete set of production network protocols‚ but the cost and complexity of the government processes involved in defining the OSI network made the project unviable. In the time that the OSI designers spent arguing over who would be responsible for what‚ TCP/IP conquered the world. The Seven Layers of the OSI

4 OSI Transport Layer 4.1 Roles of transport Layer 4.1.1 Purpose The Transport layer provides for the segmentation of data and the control necessary to reassemble these pieces into the various communication streams. Its primary responsibilities to accomplish this are: Tracking the individual communication between applications on the source and destination hosts Segmenting data and managing each piece Reassembling the segments into streams of application data Identifying the different applications

The main benefits of the OSI model include the following: • Helps users understand the big picture of networking • Helps users understand how hardware and software elements function together • Makes troubleshooting easier by separating networks into manageable pieces • Defines terms that networking professionals can use to compare basic functional relationships on different networks • Helps users understand new technologies as they are developed • Aids in interpreting vendor explanations of product

and the OSI Model The Open Systems Interconnect (OSI) Model is the basis on which network communications function. Every network application more or less adheres to the standards of the OSI Model. Each layer of the OSI model represents a level of network functionality. For each layer‚ there are different types of security to protect the network at that layer. The physical layer is the actual medium in which the data travels. This is usually a wire‚ hub‚ or over the air. The physical layer

ISO-OSI 7-Layer Network Architecture This lecture introduces the ISO-OSI layered architecture of Networks. According to the ISO standards‚ networks have been divided into 7 layers depending on the complexity of the functionality each of these layers provide. The detailed description of each of these layers is given in the notes below. We will first list the layers as defined by the standard in the increasing order of function complexity: 1. Physical Layer 2. Data Link Layer 3. Network Layer

OSI Model This memorandum will attempt to explain the Open Systems Interconnection Model‚ known more simply as the OSI Model. The OSI Model has seven levels‚ and these levels will be discussed in detail. Particular mention will be made to which level TCP/IP functions with the OSI Model. The seven levels of the OSI Model are as follows: 7) Application: Provides different services to the applications. 6) Presentation: Converts the information. 5) Session: Handles problems which are not communication

Security and the OSI Model Network security is a topic that reaches far beyond the realm of firewalls‚ passwords‚ and user ID accounts. For a network and data to remain secure there must be protective measures at each level in the OSI interconnect model. While each layer basically operates autonomously of the other it is important to ensure that the data being transmitted from the host to destination has not been tampered with or is being prevented from reaching its destination. There are

History of the OSI Reference Model Looking at the origins of the OSI Reference Model takes us back to several issues that were discussed in the Networking Fundamentals chapter of this Guide; specifically‚ I am talking about standards and standards organizations. The idea behind the creation of networking standards is to define widely-accepted ways of setting up networks and connecting them together. The OSI Reference Model represented an early attempt to get all of the various hardware and software
