1. OSI Model Andres, Wen-Yuan Liao Department of Computer Science and Engineering De Lin Institute of Technology andres@dlit.edu.tw http://www.cse.dlit.edu.tw/~andres

3. Overview Explains how standards ensure greater compatibility and interoperability between various types of network technologies OSI reference model networking scheme The basic functions of the OSI model

4. General Model of Communication Using layers to analyze problems in a flow of materials Source, destination, and data packets Media Protocol The evolution of ISO networking standards

5. The concept of layers will help you understand the action that occurs during communication from one computer to another

9. Media Telephone wires Category 5 UTP (used for 10BASE-T Ethernet) Coaxial cables (used for cable TV) Optical fibers (thin glass fibers that carry light)

14. Protocol A Protocol is a set of rules that make communication on a network more efficient. A set of rules, or an agreement, that determines the format and transmission of data

16. The OSI Reference Model The purpose of the OSI reference model The seven layers of the OSI reference model The functions of each layer Encapsulation Names for data at each layer of the OSI model

17. ISO OSI 7 Layers In the OSI reference model, there are seven numbered layers, each of which illustrates a particular network function. This separation of networking functions is called layering.

20. Application Layer Is closest to the user Provides network services to applications Does not provide services to any other OSI layer Think of browsers

22. Presentation Layer The ensures that the information that the application layer of one system sends out is readable by the application layer of another system Think of a common data format

24. Session Layer Synchronizes dialogue between the two hosts' presentation layers and manages their data exchange Offers provisions for efficient data transfer, class of service, and exception reporting Think of dialogues and conversations

26. Transport Layer Provide a data transport service that shields the upper layers from transport implementation details Think of quality of service, and reliability

28. Network Layer Think of path selection, routing, and addressing.

30. Data Link Layer Is concerned with physical (as opposed to logical) addressing, network topology, network access, error notification, ordered delivery of frames, and flow control Think of frames and media access control

32. Physical Layer Defines the electrical, mechanical, procedural, and functional specifications for activating, maintaining, and deactivating the physical link between end systems Voltage levels, timing of voltage changes, physical data rates, maximum transmission distances, physical connectors, and other Think of signals and media

33. Encapsulation Encapsulation wraps data with the necessary protocol information before network transit

36. Peer-to-Peer Communications Each layer of the OSI model at the source must communicate with its peer layer at the destination Each layer's protocol exchanges information, called protocol data units (PDUs), between peer layers

38. Comparison of the OSI Model and the TCP/IP Model The TCP/IP reference model The layers of the TCP/IP reference model TCP/IP protocol graph Comparison of the OSI model and the TCP/IP model

39. TCP/IP TCP/IP reference model and the TCP/IP protocol stack make data communication possible between any two computers, anywhere in the world U.S. Department of Defense (DoD)

41. Application Layer Higher level protocols should include the session and presentation layer details Handles high-level protocols, issues of representation, encoding, and dialog control

42. Transport Layer Deals with the quality-of-service issues of reliability, flow control, and error correction Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) Connection-oriented Segment Packet switching

43. Internet layer Internet protocol (IP) Best path determination and packet switching Postal system

44. Network Access Layer Host-to-network layer Includes the LAN and WAN technology details, and all the details in the OSI physical and data link layers

46. Applications FTP - File Transfer Protocol HTTP - Hypertext Transfer Protocol SMTP - Simple Mail Transfer protocol DNS - Domain Name System TFTP - Trivial File Transfer Protocol

47. The transport layer involves two protocols - transmission control protocol (TCP) and user datagram protocol (UDP) There is only one network protocol - internet protocol, or IP The network access layer, refers to the particular LAN or WAN technology that is being used

49. Similarities Both have layers Both have application layers, though they include very different services Both have comparable transport and network layers Packet-switched (not circuit-switched) technology is assumed Networking professionals need to know both

50. Differences TCP/IP combines the presentation and session layer issues into its application layer TCP/IP combines the OSI data link and physical layers into one layer TCP/IP appears simpler because it has fewer layers TCP/IP protocols are the standards around which the Internet developed, so the TCP/IP model gains credibility just because of its protocols. In contrast, typically networks aren't built on the OSI protocol, even though the OSI model is used as a guide

52. Summary OSI reference model Seven numbered layers Encapsulation Peer-to-Peer Communications
