Speaking
of OSI Layers, here is a list of what each layer is responsible
for:
| 7. |
Application |
Network Process
to Applications
- Provides network services to application
process, such as e-mail, file transfer, and terminal emulation.
|
| 6. |
Presentation |
Data Representation
- Ensure data is readable by receiving
system
- Formation of data
- Data structures
- Negotiates data transfer syntax
for application layer
|
| 5. |
Session |
Inherhost Communication
- Establishes, manages, and terminates
sessions between applications
|
| 4. |
Transport |
End-to-end Connections
- Concerned with transportation issues
between hosts
- Data transport reliability
- Establish, maintain, terminate virtual
circuits
- Fault detection and recovery information
flow control
|
| 3. |
Network |
Network Address and Best Path
Determination
- Provides reliable transfer and data
across media
- Connectivity and path selection
between host systems
- Logical addressing
- Best effort delivery
|
| 2. |
Data Link |
Direct Link Control, Access
to Media
- Provides reliable transfer of data
across media
- Connectivity and path selection
between host systems
|
| 1. |
Physical |
