The main benefits of the OSI model include the following: • Helps users understand the big picture of networking • Helps users understand how hardware and software elements function together • Makes troubleshooting easier by separating networks into manageable pieces • Defines terms that networking professionals can use to compare basic functional relationships on different networks • Helps users understand new technologies as they are developed • Aids in interpreting vendor explanations of product

History of the OSI Reference Model Looking at the origins of the OSI Reference Model takes us back to several issues that were discussed in the Networking Fundamentals chapter of this Guide; specifically‚ I am talking about standards and standards organizations. The idea behind the creation of networking standards is to define widely-accepted ways of setting up networks and connecting them together. The OSI Reference Model represented an early attempt to get all of the various hardware and software

BSIT-1A Open System Interconnection (OSI) The Open System Interconnection Reference Model or OSI Reference Model or OSI Model is essentially a conceptual description for layered communications and computer network protocol design. It was created as part of the Open Systems Interconnection or OSI initiative. In its most fundamental form‚ it separates network architecture into seven distinct layers: the Application‚ Presentation‚ Session‚ Transport‚ Network‚ Data-Link‚ and Physical Layers. As a

Security and the OSI Model Network security is a topic that reaches far beyond the realm of firewalls‚ passwords‚ and user ID accounts. For a network and data to remain secure there must be protective measures at each level in the OSI interconnect model. While each layer basically operates autonomously of the other it is important to ensure that the data being transmitted from the host to destination has not been tampered with or is being prevented from reaching its destination. There are

OSI Model This memorandum will attempt to explain the Open Systems Interconnection Model‚ known more simply as the OSI Model. The OSI Model has seven levels‚ and these levels will be discussed in detail. Particular mention will be made to which level TCP/IP functions with the OSI Model. The seven levels of the OSI Model are as follows: 7) Application: Provides different services to the applications. 6) Presentation: Converts the information. 5) Session: Handles problems which are not communication

Checkpoint: OSI Model Paul Tegner IT/242 April 22‚ 2011 Mark Burke OSI Model The OSI Model consists of seven layers. These layers are the application layer‚ presentation layer‚ session layer‚ transport layer‚ network layer‚ data link layer‚ and physical layer. The Application Layer The application layer is responsible for interaction between the operating system and the network services and provides an interface to the system. It provides the user interface to a range

OSI Reference Model 1 - OSI Reference Model Network Reference Models A computer network connects two or more devices together to share information and services. Multiple networks connected together form an internetwork. Internetworking present challenges - interoperating between products from different manufacturers requires consistent standards. Network reference models were developed to address these challenges. A network reference model serves as a blueprint‚ detailing how communication

OSI vs. TCP/IP Model Comparison & Overview The Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) reference model created in the late seventies and used today consists of seven layers that include Application‚ Presentation‚ Session‚ Transport‚ Network‚ Data Link and Physical. The Application layer often dubbed Layer 7 is the most common layer to end users and can consist of applications such as Microsoft’s Internet Explorer or other browser software. The Presentation layer provides a translation of application

ISO-OSI 7-Layer Network Architecture This lecture introduces the ISO-OSI layered architecture of Networks. According to the ISO standards‚ networks have been divided into 7 layers depending on the complexity of the functionality each of these layers provide. The detailed description of each of these layers is given in the notes below. We will first list the layers as defined by the standard in the increasing order of function complexity: 1. Physical Layer 2. Data Link Layer 3. Network Layer
