    The OSI model is a 7-layer conceptual model that describes how information flows between computers. It divides network design into smaller parts or layers to reduce complexity. The 7 layers are the physical, data link, network, transport, session, presentation, and application layers. Each layer has a specific function and interacts directly with the layers above and below it, providing abstraction and allowing changes to be made independently.

    OSI REFERENCE MODEL

    The OSI model stands for Open Systems Interconnection model. The OSI model is also known
    as the ISO-OSI model as it was developed by ISO (International Organization for
    Standardization). It is a conceptual reference model that describes the entire flow of information
    from one computer to the other computer.

    The OSI model is a 7-layered model, so it is also known as a 7-layered architecture model. The
    basic idea behind layered architecture is to divide the design into smaller pieces. Most networks
    are organized in a series of layers to reduce the design complexity.

    7 Layers of the OSI Model

    the OSI model is discussed below :

     The change in one layer does not affect the other layers.
     The layered architecture reduces the complexity by dividing the task in a manageable
    way.
     The layered architecture provides abstraction from other layers.
     Due to the abstraction, any layer can be changed independently.
     Each layer can be changed, tested, and analyzed independently
    The Seven Layers ( Bottom Up Approach)

     Application Layer
     Presentation Layer
     Session Layer
     Transport Layer
     Network Layer
     DataLink Layer
     Physical Layer
