Q1) Explain the seven layers of the OSI reference

model.
Answer:

Below are the seven layers of the OSI reference model:

 Physical Layer: This layer converts data bits into radio signals. An

example of this is Ethernet.

 Data Link layer: At data link layer data packets are encoded and

decoded and are provided to node data transfer.

 Network Layer: This layer transfers variable length data from one node

to another. This data is known as datagram.

 Transport Layer: This layer transfers data between different nodes and

keeps giving acknowledgments for data packets. It keeps track of all

transmissions and transmission failures.

 Session Layer: This layer manages connections between different

systems on a network. It helps in establishing coordinating and

terminating connections between all applications.
