NETWORK MODELS

1
LAYERED TASKS

2
The Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model

A network model which allows any two different

systems to communicate regardless of their
underlying architecture

Grouping of layers
• Layers 1, 2 and 3: Network support layers
 deal with moving data from one device to other
 electrical specifications, physical connections
• Layers 5, 6 and 7: User support layers
 interoperability among unrelated software systems
• Layer 4, Transport layer: links the two groups

6
Encapsulation
• A packet at layer 7 is encapsulated in a packet
at layer 6, and so on.
• Data at N-1 layer carries the whole packet
form level N

7
OSI Model Layer: Physical Layer
The physical layer is responsible for movements
of individual bits from one hop(node) to the next.

8
OSI Model Layer: Data Link Layer
The data link layer is responsible for moving
frames from one hop(node) to the next hop(node)

9
OSI Model Layer: Network Layer
The network layer is responsible for the delivery
of individual packets from the source host to the
destination host.

10
OSI Model Layer: Transport Layer
The transport layer is responsible for the delivery
of message from one process to another.

11
OSI Model Layer: Session Layer

It establishes, maintains and synchronization the

interaction among communicating systems.

12
OSI Model Layer: Presentation Layer

This layer is responsible for translation,

compression and encryption.

13
OSI Model Layer: Application Layer
This layer enables the network applications to
access the network.
