OSI stands for open systems interconnection and is a conceptual framework for how applications communicate over a network there are seven layers within the model in the layers depiction is used to help users identify what is happening within a networking system [Music] before we get started on today's video if you love our videos be sure to click the like button below then make sure to click

described as application presentation session transport network data link and physical these layers are provided by a mixture of network car drivers operating systems applications and networking hardware that facilitate the transmission of signals over Ethernet fiber-optic Wi-Fi or other wireless protocols will describe the layers from the top down as the top layer is the application layer or layer 7 this is the layer that most users interact with and will recognize the application layer provides network services to the end-user these services are protocols that work with the data the client is using one of these protocols may be HTTP that is used with web browsers such as Google Chrome Firefox and Internet Explorer other examples of applications that use this layer are Office Outlook and Skype all of those interactive applications provide a set of services that allow the application layer to supply data to and receive data from the presentation layer the presentation layer or layer six performs the uncomplicated task of syntax processing or converting data from one format to another for example consider you're ordering something from an online store these transactions are typically handled in a secure transmission which means that the data passing between the store or the website application will transmit encrypted data to the presentation layer that will need to be decrypted and processed this layer handles translating the data from the top layer which is presented in application format to network format and vice versa after the presentation layer processes the data from one format to another the information is then passed to the session layer or the application layer depending on whether the data is transmitting or receiving at the session layer or layer five the construction direction and conclusion of connections between devices occur this layer supports multiple types of connections as well as being responsible for authentication and reconnection if a network interruption should occur after the session is established the data then passes to or from the transport layer the transport layer or layer 4 is responsible for the transmission of data across network connections this layer coordinates how much data to send how fast where it goes and these sorts of things of the most widely known protocols for internet applications these services may be provided by transmission control protocol or TCP and user Datagram protocol or UDP other protocols may provide additional capabilities including error recovery data flow and retransmission once the transport layer has completed its function the data is then passed to or from the network layer the network layer or layer three handles the routing of the data after the data arrives at this layer each frame of data is examined to conclude if the data has reached its ultimate target the layer sends data to the correct destination on outgoing transmissions and receives incoming transmissions as well the IP portion of tcp/ip is the commonly known network layer for the Internet this layer also manages the mapping between logical addresses and physical addresses for IP addresses this is accomplished through address resolution protocol or ARP the data is then passed to the next required layer which is the data link layer the datalink layer or layer two is considered the most complex of the layers this layer is often divided into sub layers called media access control or mac and logical link control or LLC the layer sets up links across the physical network when this layer receives data from the physical layer it checks for transmission errors and then packages the bits into data frames from there this layer manages the physical addressing methods for the mac or LLC layers an example of the mac layer includes 802.11 Wireless specifications as well as Ethernet at the data link layer the data passes to or from the final layer in the OSI model which is the physical layer the physical layer or layer one is the electrical or physical layer of the model this layer encompasses the network cables power plugs cable pinouts wireless radio frequencies connectors transceivers receivers repeaters pulses of light electric voltages etc when troubleshooting problems this is typically the first place to start is the device plugged in is the wireless card working at this layer the model transmits the digital data bits from the source or sending devices physical layer over network communications media which can be electrical mechanical or radio to the receiving or destination devices physical layer the OSI model is a guide for developers and vendors to smooth the progress of developing communication products and software programs that will work in cooperation with a commonly established model once you understand the model you can then understand which protocols and devices will be compatible with one another want to learn see programming in an easy-to-understand format and take your career to the next level head on over to real parse com [Music]
