Physical
Term
Application-Layer 7
Definition
provides network services to end users, according to the applications they're using, its the only layer that users interact with directly. Includes transferring files, sending emails, and saving data to network servers
Term
Application protocols
Definition
HTTP, SNMP, SMTP, DNS, FTP, TELNET, NTP
Term
Presentation-Layer 6
Definition
Ensure that data represented by one system can be interpreted by another system, for example they can convert special character data to ASCII, adds data compression and security related services like encryption and decryption
Term
Session-Layer 5
Definition
Establishes connections between devices and application, maintains the connection, and then terminates or reestablishes it when required. Specifies the procedures for synchronizing data transfer between two devices with different data transmission rate.
Term
Transport-Layer 4
Definition
end to end data transmissions occur, also implements mechanisms for ensuring reliable data transfer,data integrity, and for correcting transmission errors. Manages connections with the two layers adjacent to it-the Network layer above it and the session layer below it. segments the data received from each session and passes it to the network layer in appropriate size and format
Term
Network-Layer 3
Definition
Specifies how to route data from host on one network to host on another network based on the host network addresses
Term
Data link-Layer 2
Definition
Handles hardware addressing so that physically connected devices can be located. responsible for transferring data packets between adjacent network nodes without any errors, after sending the packets this layer waits for an acknowledgement from receiving devices. network switches operate at this layer.
Term
Physical-Layer 1
Definition
defines the physical media and specification a network uses when transferring data. for example it describes cables, connectors, or frequencies and modulation in wireless networks, network adapters, and access points. protocols at this layer receive fully formatted data frames from the data link and places them on the physical communications medium. It determines the mode and medium of data transmission which are factors that affect transmission speeds.
Term
Presentation protocols
Definition
SSL, TLS, ASN.1(ABSTRACT SYNTAX NOTATION ONE)
Term
presentation file formats
Definition
GIF, JPEG, and TIFF
Term
Session protocols
Definition
RADIUS, TACACS +
Term
Transport-protocols
Definition
UDP, TCP
Term
Network-protocols
Definition
IP, IGMP, ICMP, ARP, AND RIP
Term
Data Link-protocols
Definition
POINT TO POINT(PPP), SERIAL LINE INTERNET PROTOCOL(SLIP), SYNCHRONOUS OPTICAL NETWORKING (SONET)
Term
Data link sub-layers
Definition
LLC-Logical Link Control
MAC-Media Access Control
Term
LLC-Logical Link Control
Definition
Encapsulating protocols can share the same media
Term
MAC-Media Access Control
Definition
Defines how packets are transferred onto media, in contention based networks such as Ethernet, this sub layer is responsible for the contention scheme for Instance Carrier Sense Multiple Access(CSMA), and Collision Detection (CD)
Term
Physical-protocols
Definition
Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Asynchronous transfer mode(ATM), Token ring, Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI), and 802.11 WIFI standards
Term
Application support
Definition
consists of the upper three layers of the OSI mode, Application, Presentation, and session. connecting software programs to a network is the primary responsibility of this functional block
Term
Network support
Definition
made up of the lower four layers, Transport, network, data link, and physical. moving data on a network is the primary responsibility of this functional block
Term
encapsulation process step 1
Definition
user information is converted to data
Term
encapsulation process step 2
Definition
data is converted to segments
Term
encapsulation process step 3
Definition
data segments are converted to packets or datagrams
Term
encapsulation process step 4
Definition
datagrams or data packets are converted to frames for transmission
Term
encapsulation process step 5
Definition
frames are converted to bits
