OSI Model
Communication Architecture
Strategy for connecting host computers and other communicating equipment. Defines necessary elements for data communication between devices. A communication architecture, therefore, defines a standard for the communicating hosts. A programmer formats data in a manner defined by the communication architecture and passes it on to the communication software. Separating communication functions adds flexibility, for example, we do not need to modify the entire host software to include more communication devices.
OSI Model
Layer Architecture
Layer architecture simplifies the network design.
It is easy to debug network applications in a layered architecture network.

The network management is easier due to the layered architecture.
Network layers follow a set of rules, called protocol.

The protocol defines the format of the data being exchanged, and the control and timing for the handshake between layers.
OSI Model
Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Model

International standard organization (ISO) established a committee in 1977 to develop an architecture for computer communication. Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) reference model is the result of this effort.
In 1984, the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) reference model was approved as an international standard for communications architecture.
Term open denotes the ability to connect any two systems which conform to the reference model and associated standards.
OSI Model
OSI Reference Model

The OSI model is now considered the primary Architectural model for inter-computer communications. The OSI model describes how information or data makes its way from application programmes (such as spreadsheets) through a network medium (such as wire) to another application programme located on another network. The OSI reference model divides the problem of moving information between computers over a network medium into SEVEN smaller and more manageable problems .
This separation into smaller more manageable functions is known as layering.

OSI Reference Model: 7 Layers
OSI Model
OSI: A Layered Network Model

The process of breaking up the functions or tasks of networking into layers reduces complexity. Each layer provides a service to the layer above it in the protocol specification. Each layer communicates with the same layers software or hardware on other computers.
The lower 4 layers (transport, network, data link and physical Layers 4, 3, 2, and 1) are concerned with the flow of data from end to end through the network.
The upper four layers of the OSI model (application, presentation and sessionLayers 7, 6 and 5) are orientated more toward services to the applications. Data is Encapsulated with the necessary protocol information as it moves down the layers before network transit.
OSI Model
Physical Layer
Provides physical information. interface for transmission of
Defines rules by which bits are passed from one system to another on a physical communication medium.
Covers all - mechanical, electrical, functional and procedural - aspects for physical communication.
Such characteristics as voltage levels, timing of voltage changes, physical data rates, maximum transmission distances, physical connectors, and other similar attributes are defined by physical layer specifications.
OSI Model
Data Link Layer

Data link layer attempts to provide reliable communication over the physical layer interface. Breaks the outgoing data into frames and reassemble the received frames. Create and detect frame boundaries. Handle errors by implementing an acknowledgement and retransmission scheme. Implement flow control. Supports points-to-point as well as broadcast communication. Supports simplex, half-duplex or full-duplex communication.
OSI Model
Network Layer
Implements routing of frames (packets) through the network. Defines the most optimum path the packet should take from the source to the destination Defines logical addressing so that any endpoint can be identified. Handles congestion in the network. Facilitates interconnection between heterogeneous networks (Internetworking). The network layer also defines how to fragment a packet into smaller packets to accommodate different media.
OSI Model
Transport Layer
Purpose of this layer is to provide a reliable mechanism for the exchange of data between two processes in different computers. Ensures that the data units are delivered error free.
Ensures that data units are delivered in sequence.

Ensures that there is no loss or duplication of data units. Provides connectionless or connection oriented service. Provides for the connection management. Multiplex multiple connection over a single channel.
OSI Model
Session Layer
Session layer provides mechanism for controlling the dialogue between the two end systems. It defines how to start, control and end conversations (called sessions) between applications. This layer requests for a logical connection to be established on an end-users request. Any necessary log-on or password validation is also handled by this layer. Session layer is also responsible for terminating the connection. This layer provides services like dialogue discipline which can be full duplex or half duplex. Session layer can also provide check-pointing mechanism such that if a failure of some sort occurs between checkpoints, all data can be retransmitted from the last checkpoint.
OSI Model
Presentation Layer
Presentation layer defines the format in which the data is to be exchanged between the two communicating entities. Also handles data compression and data encryption (cryptography).
OSI Model
Application Layer
1.
Application layer interacts with application programs and is the highest level of OSI model. Application layer contains management functions to support distributed applications. Examples of application layer are applications such as file transfer, electronic mail, remote login etc.

OSI Model
OSI in Action
A message begins at the top application layer and moves down the OSI layers to the bottom physical layer. As the message descends, each successive OSI model layer adds a header to it.
A header is layer-specific information that basically explains what functions the layer carried out.
Conversely, at the receiving end, headers are striped from the message as it travels up the corresponding layers.
