layer communication reference model 
• Explain the reference model and 
standards relevant to network 
communications

Models and Standards in 
Communication 
• Communication 
– Established standards 
– Standards are known as protocols 
• Implementation 
– A framework is helpful in the design of 
hardware and software for communication 
– ISO-OSI Model serves this purpose 
– ISO-OSI supersedes the TCP/IP model
ISO and OSI Defined 
• ISO 
– International Standards Organization 
• OSI 
– Open Systems Interconnect
OSI Model Background 
• Introduced in 1978 and revised in 1984 
• Formulates the communication process 
into structured layers 
• There are seven layers in the model, 
hence the name the 7-Layer model 
• The model acts as a frame of reference 
in the design of communications and 
networking products

The Function of a Layer 
• Each layer deals with one aspect of 
networking 
– Layer 1 deals with the communication media 
• Each layer communicates with the adjacent 
layers 
– In both directions 
– Ex: Network layer communicates with: 
• Transport layer 
• Data Link layer 
• Each layer formats the data packet 
– Ex: Adds or deletes addresses

Module Objectives 
• Application Layer 
• Presentation Layer 
• Session Layer 
• Transport Layer 
• Network Layer
7. Application Layer 
• Purpose 
– User application to network service 
interface 
• Examples 
– File request from server 
– E-mail services 
– etc.
Application Layer Function 
• General network access 
• Flow control 
• Error recovery
6. Presentation Layer 
• Purpose 
– Formats data for exchange between points 
of communication 
•Ex: Between nodes in a network 
• Example: 
– Redirector software 
•Formats for transmission to the server
Presentation Layer Function 
• Protocol conversion 
• Data translation 
• Encryption 
• Character set conversion 
• Expansion of graphics command
Redirector Example 
F:/PUR/ORDER C:/CORRES/USDA 
REDIRECTOR 
TO SERVER TO LOCAL 
DISK
5. Session Layer 
• Purpose 
– Oversee a communication session 
•Establish 
•Maintain 
•Terminate 
• Example
Session Layer Function 
• Performs name recognition and related 
security 
• Synchronization between sender and 
receiver 
• Assignment of time for transmission 
– Start time 
– End time etc.
4. Transport Layer 
• Purpose 
– Repackage proper and efficient delivery of 
packages 
•Error free 
•In sequence 
•Without duplication 
• Example
Transport Layer Function 
• For sending data 
– Repackage the message to fit into packets 
• Split long messages 
• Assemble small messages 
• On receiving data 
– Perform the reverse 
– Send an acknowledgment to the sender 
• Solve packet problems 
– During transmission and reception
3. Network Layer 
• Purpose 
– Addressing and routing the packets 
• Example application at the router 
– If the packet size is large, splits into small 
packets
Network Layer Function 
• Address messages 
• Address translation from logical to 
physical 
– Ex: nganesa ----------> 102.13.345.25 
• Routing of data 
– Based on priority 
– Best path at the time of transmission 
• Congestion control

2. Data Link Layer 
• Purpose 
– Manages the flow of data over the physical 
media 
• Responsible for error-free transmission 
over the physical media 
• Assures error-free data submission to 
the Network Layer
Data Link Layer Function 
• Point of origin 
– Packages data for transmission over physical line 
• Receiving end 
– Packages data for submission to the network layer 
• Deals with network transmission protocols 
– IEEE 802. protocols
Data Link Layer Subdivision 
• Improvement to ISO Model 
• Logical Link Control (LLC) sub-layer 
– Manages service access points (logical link) 
– Error and flow control 
•Media Access Control (MAC) sub-layer 
– Applies directly to network card 
communication 
– Access control

Layer Operations 
• At each layer, additional information is 
added to the data packet 
• An example would be information 
related to the IP protocol that is added 
at Layer 3

Data 
A general concept of packets serves as a prerequisite to 
the understanding of the ISO-OSI model.
Some Header Information Added at 
Various Layers 
• Packet arrival information 
• Receiver’s address 
• Sender’s address 
• Synchronization character
Data 
• Actual data 
• May contain error correction code 
– Performed on individual characters of the data 
– Example: Parity 
• Size may vary 
– Depending on the protocol 
– Example 
• 802.3 specifies range of data packet length
Some Trailer Information Added at 
Various Layers 
• Error correction code 
– Character oriented 
– VRC (Parity Checking) 
• Packet oriented error correction codes

A Note on CRC 
• Used widely 
• Sophisticated

for error correction 
– Example: Degrees 16, 32 etc. 
• CRC-32 is a more stringent error 
checking procedure than CRC-16
