Application All
6. Presentation People
5. Session Seem
4. Transport To
3. Network Need
2. Data Link Data

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

  • 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

Binary Transmission

  • Wires, connectors, voltages, data rates
