OSI MODEL

Introduction to OSI Model
 OSI model is based on the proposal developed by the
International Standards Organization (ISO).
 This model is called ISO OSI (Open Systems
Interconnection) Reference model because it deals
with connecting open systems (systems that are open
for communication with other systems)
 We call it as OSI Model.
2

Principles on which OSI model was designed:
 A layer should be created where different level of abstraction
is needed.
 Each layer should perform a well defined function.
 The function of each layer should be chosen according to the
internationally standardized protocols.
 The number of layers should be large enough that distinct
functions should not be put in the same layer and small
enough that the architecture does not become very complex.

OSI Layers

An Exchange Using the OSI Model

Physical Layer
7

Physical Layer
 It is the bottom layer of OSI Model.
 It is responsible for the actual physical
connection between the devices. Such physical
connection may be made by using twisted pair
cable.
 It is concerned with transmitting bits over a
communication channel.
8

Functions of Physical Layer
 Transforming bits into signals
 Provides synchronization of bits by a clock.
 Physical layer manages the way a device
connects to network media.
 It defines the transmission rate.
 It defines the way in which the devices are
connected to the medium.
 It provides physical topologies
 It can use different techniques of multiplexing.
9

Data Link Layer
10

Data Link Layer
 It is responsible for node-to-node delivery of
data.
 It receives the data from network layer and
creates FRAMES , add physical address to these
frames & pas them to physical layer
 It consist of 2 layers:
Logical Link Layer (LLC) : Defines the
methods and provides addressing information
for communication between network devices.
Medium Access Control (MAC):
establishes and maintains links between
communicating devices.
11

Functions of Data Link Layer
 Framing : DLL divides the bits received from N/W
layer into frames. (Frame contains all the addressing
information necessary to travel from S to D).
 Physical addressing: After creating frames, DLL
adds physical address of sender/receiver (MAC
address) in the header of each frame.
 Flow Control: DLL prevents the fast sender from
drowning the slow receiver.
12

Data Link Layer Example
13

Functions of Data Link Layer
 Error Control: It provides the mechanism of error
control in which it detects & retransmits damaged or
lost frames.
 Access Control: When single comm. Channel is
shared by multiple devices, MAC layer of DLL
provides help to determine which device has control
over the channel.
14

Network Layer
15

Network Layer
 It is responsible for the source to destination delivery
of a packet across multiple networks.
 If two systems are attached to different networks with
devices like routers, then N/W layer is used.
 Thus DLL overseas the delivery of the packet between
the two systems on same network and the network
layer ensures that the packet gets its point of origin to
its final destination.
16

Functions of Network Layer
 Internetworking: It provides Internetworking.
 Logical Addressing: When packet is sent outside the
network, N/W layer adds Logical (network) address of the
sender & receiver to each packet.
 Network addresses are assigned to local devices by n/w
administrator and assigned dynamically by special server
called DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
 Routing: When independent n/w are connected to create
internetwork several routes are available to send the data
from S to D. These n/w are interconnected by routers &
gateways that route the packet to final destination.
17

Transport Layer
18

Transport Layer
 It is responsible for process-to-process delivery of the
entire message.
 TL looks after the delivery of entire message considering all
its packets & make sure that all packets are in order. On the
other hand n/w layer treated each packet independently.
 At the receiver side, TL provides services to application
layer & takes services form n/w layer.
 At the source side, TL receives message from upper layer
into packets and reassembles these packets again into
message at the destination.
19

Transport Layer
 Transport Layer provides two types of services:
Connection Oriented Transmission: In this type
of transmission the receiving devices sends an
acknowledge back to the source after a packet or group
of packet is received. It is slower transmission method.
Connectionless Transmission: In this type of
transmission the receiving devices does not sends an
acknowledge back to the source. It is faster
transmission method.
20

Functions of Transport Layer
 Segmentation of message into packet &
reassembly of packets into message.
 Port addressing: Computers run several processes.
TL header include a port address with each process.
 Flow Control: Flow control facility prevents the
source form sending data packets faster than the
destination can handle.
 Error control: TL ensures that the entire message
arrives at the receiving TL without error.
21

Session Layer
22

Session Layer
 Session layer is the fifth layer of OSI Model
 It has the responsibility of beginning, maintaining and
ending the communication between two devices, called
session.
 It also provides for orderly communication between
devices by regulating the flow of data.
23

Functions of Session Layer
 Establishing, Maintaining and ending a session:
When sending device first contact with receiving device, it
sends syn (synchronization) packet to establish a
connection & determines the order in which information
will be sent. Receiver sends ack (acknowledgement). So the
session can be set & end.
 Dialog Control: This function determines that which
device will communicate first and the amount of data that
will be sent.
 Dialog separation: Process of adding checkpoints &
markers to the stream of data is called dialog separation.
24

Presentation Layer
25

Presentation Layer
 Presentation layer is the sixth layer of OSI Model.
 It is concerned with the syntax & semantics of the
information exchanged between the two devices.
 It was designed for data encryption, decryption and
compression.
26

Functions of Presentation Layer
 Data Presentation or Translation: Because different
computers use different encoding systems. It ensures that
the data being sent is in the format that the recipient can
process.
 Data Encryption: PL provides this facility by which hides
the information from everyone except the person who
originally sent the information & the intended recipient.
When encrypted data arrives at destination, PL decrypts
the message.
 Data Compression: PL shrinks large amount of data into
smaller pieces i.e. it reduces the size of data.
27

Application Layer
28

Application Layer
 It is the topmost i.e. seventh layer of OSI Model.
 It enables the user to access the network.
 It provides user interface & supports for services such
as e-mail, file transfer, access to the world wide web.
 So it provides services to different user applications.
29

Functions of Application Layer
 Mail Services: This application provides various e-
mail services.
 File transfer & Access: It allows users to access files
in a remote host, to retrieve files from remote
computer for use etc.
 Remote log-in: A user can log into a remote
computer and access the resources of that computer.
 Accessing the World Wide Web: Most common
application today is the access of the World Wide Web.
