Layered Tasks
The OSI model
Layers in the OSI model
TCP/IP Protocol Suite
Addressing

EX:
Layered model: Sending a letter
higher layers= the letter is written, put in an envelope, and dropped in mailbox
middle layers= the letter is carried from the mailbox to a post office
lower layers= the letter is delivered to a carrier by the post office
#The OSI Model (Open Systems Interconnection)
a) open system: set of protocols that allows any two different systems to commun
icate regardless of their underlying architecture.
b) Purpose?: show how to facilitate communication between different systems with
out requiring changes to the logic of the underlying hardware and software
c) OSI model is not a protocol; it is a model for understanding and designing an
network architecture that is flexible, robust, and interoperable
d) OSI model was never fully implemented

Type of connection:
- p2p

- intermediate (hub-to-hub)
- intermediate (hub-to-hub)

Bits

*p2p= connect directly without through 3rd party device

*intermediate= connect through 3rd party device
*why need p2p? = need more information
#Physical Layer
a) Responsible for movements of individual bits from one hop (node) to the next
b) Duties
- Physical characteristics of interfaces and media
- Representation of bits
- Data rate
- Synchronization of bits
- Line configuration
- Physical topology
- Transmission mode
