OSI Model:
Summary
The Open Systems Interconnect (OSI) model has seven layers. The layers are stacked
this way:
PHYSICAL LAYER
The physical layer, the lowest layer of the OSI model, is concerned with the
transmission and reception of the unstructured raw bit stream over a physical medium.
It describes the electrical/optical, mechanical, and functional interfaces to the physical
medium, and carries the signals for all of the higher layers. It provides:

Data encoding: modifies the simple digital signal pattern (1s and 0s) used by the PC to
better accommodate the characteristics of the physical medium, and to aid in bit and
frame synchronization. It determines:
How many pins do the connectors have and what is each pin used for?
How many volts/db should be used to represent a given signal state, using a given
physical medium
The data link layer provides error-free transfer of data frames from one node to another
over the physical layer, allowing layers above it to assume virtually error-free
transmission over the link. To do this, the data link layer provides:
Link establishment and termination: establishes and terminates the logical link between
two nodes.
Frame traffic control: tells the transmitting node to "back-off" when no frame buffers
are available.
Media access management: determines when the node "has the right" to use the
physical medium.
NETWORK LAYER
The network layer controls the operation of the subnet, deciding which physical path
the data should take based on network conditions, priority of service, and other factors.
It provides:
Subnet traffic control: routers (network layer intermediate systems) can instruct a
sending station to "throttle back" its frame transmission when the router's buffer fills
up.
Subnet usage accounting: has accounting functions to keep track of frames forwarded
by subnet intermediate systems, to produce billing information.
Communications Subnet
The network layer software must build headers so that the network layer software
residing in the subnet intermediate systems can recognize them and use them to route
data to the destination address.
This layer relieves the upper layers of the need to know anything about the data
transmission and intermediate switching technologies used to connect systems. It
establishes, maintains and terminates connections across the intervening
communications facility (one or several intermediate systems in the communication
subnet).

In the network layer and the layers below, peer protocols exist between a node and its
immediate neighbor, but the neighbor may be a node through which data is routed, not
the destination station. The source and destination stations may be separated by many
intermediate systems.
TRANSPORT LAYER
The transport layer ensures that messages are delivered error-free, in sequence, and
with no losses or duplications. It relieves the higher layer protocols from any concern
with the transfer of data between them and their peers.
The size and complexity of a transport protocol depends on the type of service it can get
from the network layer. For a reliable network layer with virtual circuit capability, a
minimal transport layer is required. If the network layer is unreliable and/or only
supports datagrams, the transport protocol should include extensive error detection
and recovery.
Message segmentation: accepts a message from the (session) layer above it, splits the
message into smaller units (if not already small enough), and passes the smaller units
down to the network layer. The transport layer at the destination station reassembles
the message.
Message traffic control: tells the transmitting station to "back-off" when no message
buffers are available.
Session multiplexing: multiplexes several message streams, or sessions onto one logical
link and keeps track of which messages belong to which sessions (see session layer).

Typically, the transport layer can accept relatively large messages, but there are strict
message size limits imposed by the network (or lower) layer. Consequently, the
transport layer must break up the messages into smaller units, or frames, prepending a
header to each frame.
The transport layer header information must then include control information, such as
message start and message end flags, to enable the transport layer on the other end to
recognize message boundaries. In addition, if the lower layers do not maintain
sequence, the transport header must contain sequence information to enable the
transport layer on the receiving end to get the pieces back together in the right order
before handing the received message up to the layer above.
End-to-end layers
Unlike the lower "subnet" layers whose protocol is between immediately adjacent
nodes, the transport layer and the layers above are true "source to destination" or end-
to-end layers, and are not concerned with the details of the underlying communications
facility. Transport layer software (and software above it) on the source station carries
on a conversation with similar software on the destination station by using message
headers and control messages.
SESSION LAYER
The session layer allows session establishment between processes running on different
stations. It provides:
Session support: performs the functions that allow these processes to communicate
over the network, performing security, name recognition, logging, and so on.

PRESENTATION LAYER
The presentation layer formats the data to be presented to the application layer. It can
be viewed as the translator for the network. This layer may translate data from a format
used by the application layer into a common format at the sending station, then
translate the common format to a format known to the application layer at the receiving
station.
Data compression: reduces the number of bits that need to be transmitted on the
network.
Data encryption: encrypt data for security purposes. For example, password encryption.
APPLICATION LAYER
The application layer serves as the window for users and application processes to
access network services. This layer contains a variety of commonly needed functions:
Inter-process communication
Network management
Directory services
