The OSI Model NTC/360 Network & Telecommunications Concepts The OSI Model The Open Systems Interconnection Reference Model (OSI) is the accepted model that describes the how the communications for a computer network should be designed. OSI was developed as part of the Open Systems Interconnect Initiative. Basically‚ OSI divides the functions of a protocol in to seven layers. This makes the reasoning easy to follow and the system much more reliable. The implementation of several OSI layers
Free OSI model
Interconnection (OSI) model (ISO/IEC 7498-1) is a conceptual model that characterizes and standardizes the internal functions of a communications system by partitioning it into abstraction layers. The model is a product of the Open Systems Interconnection project at theInternational Organization for Standardization (ISO). The model groups similar communication functions into one of seven logical layers. A layer serves the layer above it and is served by the layer below it. For example‚ a layer that provides

OSI Layers 1) Physical Layer: The physical layer is at the bottom of this model. It deals with crude data that is in the form of electrical signals. The data bits are sent as 0s and 1s. 0s correspond to low voltage signals and 1s correspond to high voltage signals. The mechanical aspects of communication‚ such as wires or connectors come under this layer. The physical layer also deals with how these wires‚ connectors‚ and voltage electrical signals work. Also‚ the process that is required for

Your response should include answers to the following: • On which layers of the OSI model do WAN protocols operate? • What are some of these protocols? • On which OSI layers do switches and routers operate? • If routers reside at more than one layer‚ what is the difference between the OSI layers? Introduction: The OSI model was introduced in 1984. Although it was designed to be an abstract model‚ the OSI model remains

OSI Model Joshua M. Grooms The Open Systems Interconnection model‚ or the OSI model‚ is a way to sub-divide a communications system into smaller‚ more manageable parts known as layers. A layer is a grouping of functions that have similar purpose that either provide services to the layer above it or receives services from the layer below it. On which layer of the OSI model do WAN protocols operate? WANs are managed by the protocols that exist in level 2‚ the Data Link Layer‚ of the OSI

Understanding the OSI Model November 26‚ 2012 Understanding the OSI Model The Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Model is a reference tool for understanding data communications between any two networked systems (Simoneau‚ 2012). The OSI Model dissects the communication process down to seven layers‚ where each layer performs specific functions. It helps break a network down to controllable pieces; without this OSI Model networks would be difficult to comprehend. The OSI Models’ seven-layers consist

The OSI‚ or Open System Interconnection‚ model defines a networking framework for implementing protocols in seven layers. Control is passed from one layer to the next‚ starting at the application layer in one station‚ and proceeding to the bottom layer‚ over the channel to the next station and back up the hierarchy. The OSI model is not a real network architecture‚ because it does not really specify the services and protocols each layer should use. It rather describes what the layers must do. Nevertheless
