Introduction

 Open Systems Interconnection Basic Reference Model (OSI 
Reference Model or OSI Model) is an abstract description for 
layered communications and computer network protocol 
design. It was developed as part of the Open Systems 
Interconnection (OSI) initiative. In its most basic form, it 
divides network architecture into seven layers which, from 
top to bottom, are the Application, Presentation, Session, 
Transport, Network, Data-Link, and Physical Layers. It is 
therefore often referred to as the OSI Seven Layer Model.

 The application layer is responsible for providing services to the user. 
 Concerned: 
 Network virtual terminal (Software) 
 File transfer, access and management 
 Mail services 
 Directory services (access to distributed database sources for global information 
about various objects and services)

 Concerned: 
 Service-point addressing (Port address) 
 Segmentation and reassembly (Sequence number) 
 Connection control (Connectionless or connection oriented) 
 Flow control (end to end)

 Data link layer is responsible for moving frames from one hop (Node) to the next. 
 Concerned: 
 Framing (stream of bits into manageable data units) 
 Physical addressing (MAC Address) 
 Flow Control (mechanism for overwhelming the receiver) 
 Error Control (trailer, retransmission) 
 Access Control (defining master device in the same link)

 One of the major function of the physical layer is to move data using electromagnetic signals 
across a transmission medium. 
 Its responsible for movements of individual bits from one hop (Node) to next. 
 Concerned: 
 Physical characteristics of interface and medium (Transmission medium) 
 Data rate (duration of a bit, which is how long it last)
