The document discusses networking fundamentals and the OSI model. It describes the OSI model as having 7 layers that define protocols for network communication. Each layer has a specific function, with layer 1 being the physical level and layer 7 the application level. Common protocols are assigned to their respective layers, such as IP addresses and routing at layer 3. The model provides a standardized way to understand network communication across different systems.

What is Network?
A network is two or more computer systems interconnected
together by some form of transmission medium that enables them to
share information.

OSI Model (Open Systems Interconnection)
Developed by International
Organization for Standardization (ISO)
reference model or standard of
communication system
Aid understanding of how a network
system works in terms of both the
hardware and software components
by separating the function each layers.

Layer 7: Application
Functions: provide an interface for software programs on network hosts that have
established a communications channel through the lower-level protocols to exchange
data.
Protocols at Application Layer:
• http
• https
• ftp
• smtp
• tftp
11. Universal Access & Systems Solutions | 2021
Layer 6: Presentation
Function: Takes care that the data is sent in such a way that the
receiver will understand the information (data) and will be able to use
the data
Protocols at Application Layer:
• Jpeg
• Png
• Mp3
• mp4
12. Universal Access & Systems Solutions | 2021
Layer 5: Session
Function:
Allows users on different machines to establish active
communications sessions between them.
It is responsible for establishing, maintaining, synchronizing,
terminating sessions between end-user applications
Examples: When accessing mobile banking
13. Universal Access & Systems Solutions | 2021
Layer 4: Transport
Function: Responsible for the reliable transfer of data, by ensuring that data
arrives at its destination, error-free, and in order.
Segmentation
• Data received is divided
into small data unis
Flow Control
• Controls the amount of
data of being transmitted
Error Control
• Retransmit loss data by
using checksum

Layer 3: Network
Function: Responsible for routing packets from the source host to the destination host
Responsible for moving data around a network of
networks, known as an internetwork or the Internet.
Logical / IP address is a unique address that
identifies a device on the internet or a local network
•Class A: 10.0. 0.0 — 10.255. 255.255.
•Class B: 172.16. 0.0 — 172.31. 255.255.
•Class C: 192.168. 0.0 — 192.168. 255.255
Routing - Determines the best path to a particular
destination network and then routes data accordingly

Layer 3: Network
Source IP Address Destination IP Address
18. Universal Access & Systems Solutions | 2021
Layer 2: Data Link
Functions: Responsible for controlling the transfer of the frames across
the local media
2 Sublayer
• Media Access Control – provides control for accessing the transmission medium
mac address is physical address which is burned into the NIC or communication card ni device from its
manufacturer
• Logical Link Control – connection services
20. Universal Access & Systems Solutions | 2021
Layer 1: Physical
Functions:
Responsible for sending bits from one computer to another
Defines how the cable is attached to the network adapter
Devices involves:
Copper cable
Fiber optic cable cable
Hub
Antenna
