 ISO/OSI MODEL
ISO: International Standardization Organization

OSI: Open System Interconnection

 Primary architectural model for networks

 Developed in 1983

 Group of concepts

 Describes how devices send/receive data

 hop-to-hop

 end-to-end
 BENEFITS OF ISO/OSI
LAYERED MODEL
Divides the network communication process into layers to be easier to troubleshoot
Allows multiple-vendor development through standardization of network
components
Various types of network hardware and software can communicate
Layer separation makes changes in one layer do not affect other layers
Layers can interact with each other
 ISO/OSI LAYERS
Application
Presentation
Session
Transport
Network
Data Link
Physical
NETWORK PROTOCOLS
NetBEUI
IPX/SPX
Apple Talk
TCP/IP
NETBEUI
NetBIOS Extended User Interface
LAN Protocol
Limited Performance
Almost obsolete
IPX/SPX
Standard
Supports WAN
Vendor Oriented
Poor performance if used with other vendors
APPLE TALK
Standard
Supports WAN
Vendor Oriented
Poor performance if used with other vendors
 TCP/IP
Standard
Supports WAN
Not vendor oriented
Most widely used over Internet
Mapped to OSI 7 layers
