Lesson 5
OSI Reference Model
Overview
 Definition of OSI Model.
 Services in the OSI model
 Different layers of OSI Model
 OSI Reference Model - internationally
standardised network architecture.
 OSI = Open Systems Interconnection: deals with
open systems, i.e. systems open for
communications with other systems.
 Model has 7 layers.
OSI Reference Model
7-Layer OSI Model
Layer 7
Layer 6
Layer 5
Layer 4
Layer 3
Layer 2
Layer 1
Application Layer
Presentation Layer
Session Layer
Transport Layer
Network Layer
Data Link Layer
Physical Layer
Communications subnet boundary
 In OSI model, each layer provide services to
layer above, and ‘consumes’ services
provided by layer below.
 Active elements in a layer called entities.
 Entities in same layer in different machines
called peer entities.
 Layers can offer connection-oriented or
connectionless services.
 Connection-oriented like telephone system.
 Connectionless like postal system.
 Each service has an associated Quality-of-
service (e.g. reliable or unreliable).
Services in the OSI Model
 Reliable services never lose/corrupt data.
 Reliable service costs more.
 Typical application for reliable service is file
transfer.
 Typical application not needing reliable
service is voice traffic.
 Not all applications need connections.
Services in the OSI Model
 Transmits bits from one computer to another
 Regulates the transmission of a stream of bits
over a physical medium.
 Defines how the cable is attached to the network
adapter and what transmission technique is used
to send data over the cable. Deals with issues
like
 The definition of 0 and 1, e.g. how many volts represents a
1, and how long a bit lasts?
 Whether the channel is simplex or duplex?
 How many pins a connector has, and what the function of
each pin is?
Layer 1: Physical Layer
 Packages raw bits from the Physical layer
into frames (logical, structured packets for
data).
 Provides reliable transmission of frames
 It waits for an acknowledgment from the receiving
computer.
 Retransmits frames for which acknowledgement not
received
Layer 2: Data Link Layer
 Manages addressing/routing of data
within the subnet
 Addresses messages and translates logical addresses
and names into physical addresses.
 Determines the route from the source to the destination
computer
 Manages traffic problems, such as switching, routing, and
controlling the congestion of data packets.
 Routing can be:
 Based on static tables
 determined at start of each session
 Individually determined for each packet, reflecting the
current network load.
Layer 3: Network Layer
 Manages transmission packets
 Repackages long messages when necessary into
small packets for transmission
 Reassembles packets in correct order to get the
original message.
 Handles error recognition and recovery.
 Transport layer at receiving acknowledges packet
delivery.
 Resends missing packets
Layer 4: Transport Layer
 Allows two applications on different
computers to establish, use, and end a
session.
 e.g. file transfer, remote login
 Establishes dialog control
 Regulates which side transmits, plus
when and how long it transmits.
 Performs token management and
synchronization.
Layer 5: Session Layer
 Related to representation of transmitted data
 Translates different data representations
from the Application layer into uniform
standard format
 Providing services for secure efficient data
transmission
 e.g. data encryption, and data
compression.
Layer 6: Presentation Layer
 Level at which applications access network
services.
 Represents services that directly support
software applications for file transfers,
database access, and electronic mail etc.
Layer 7: Application Layer
