LAYERS IN THE OSI MODEL
In this section we briefly describe the functions of each layer in the OSI model. model.
Topics discussed in this section:
Physical Layer Data Link Layer Network Layer Transport Layer Session Layer Presentation Layer Application Layer
2.7
Physical layer The physical layer is responsible for movements of individual bits from one hop (node) to the next.
2.8
Physical Layer
The major functionalities of physical layer are:
• Physical characteristics of interfaces and medium • Representation of bits • Data rate • Synchronization of bits • Line configuration • Physical Topology • Transmission mode
2.9
Data link layer The data link layer is responsible for moving/sending frames from one hop (node) to the next.
2.10
Data Link Layer
The major functionalities of data link layer are:
• • • • • Framming Physical addressing Flow control Error control Access control

Example 1
In Following Figure a node with physical address 10 sends a frame to a node with physical address 87. The two nodes are connected by a link (bus topology LAN). As the
