OSI Model Objectives Describe the purpose of the OSI Model and each of its layers Explain specific functions belonging to each OSI Model layer Understand how two network nodes communicate through the OSI model Discuss the structure and purpose of data packets and frames Describe the two types of addressing covered by the OSI Model The OSI Model Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Model: divides network communications into seven layers: Physical, Data Link, Network, Transport, Session, Presentation, and Application Protocols perform services unique to layer Protocols interact with protocols in layers directly above and below Protocol: set of instructions to perform a function or group of functions Written by a programmer The OSI Model (continued) Application Layer Services facilitate communication between software and lower-layer network services Helps software applications negotiate formatting, procedural, security, synchronization, and other requirements with network Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP): formats and sends requests from client’s browser to server Also formats and sends Web server’s response back to client’s browser Application program interface (API): set of routines that make up part of a software application Presentation Layer Protocols accept Application layer data and format it So that one type of application and host can understand data from another type of application and host e.g., translation and conversion between graphics file types Manages data encryption and decryption Session Layer Protocols coordinate and maintain communications between two network nodes Establish and maintain communications link for duration of session Keep communication secure Synchronize dialogue between two nodes Determine if communications have been cut off Determine where to restart transmission Terminate communications Session Layer (continued) Sets terms of communication Decides which node will communicate first Decides how long a node can communicate Monitors
