Q

What does OSI model stand for?

A

Open Systems Interconnection reference model.

24
Q

Who created the OSI model?

A

-the International Organization for Standardization(ISO)

25
Describe layer 1. OSI
physical layer: concerned primarily with transmitting data bits(ones and zeros) over a communications circuit. -defines transmission rules such as voltages, # bits sent per second and physical format of cable and connector.
26
Describe layer 2 OSI
Data link layer: manages the physical transmission circuit in layer 1. - transforms it into a circuit that is free of transmission errors. - creates and recognizes message boundaries, - error detection and correction. - decides when device can transmit.
27
Describe layer 3 OSI
Network layer. performs routing and logical addressing.
28
Describe layer 4. OSI
Transport layer: deals with end-to-end issues. - procedure for entering and departing from the network. - establishes, maintains, and terminates logical connections for the transfer of data. - break larger transmission into smaller packets. - flow control. - also performs error checking.
29
Describe layer 5. OSI
Session layer:managing and structuring sessions. - arrange for all desired and required services between session participants. - orderly way to end the session. - session accounting
30
Describe OSI layer 6
Presentation: formats the data for presentation to the user. - displaying formatting and editing user inputs and outputs. - data compression, translation between data formats, screen formatting.
31
Describe OSI layer 7
application layer: end user's access to the network. - provides a set of utilities for application programs. - network monitoring and network management.
32
What is the Internet model.
-dominates current hardware and software .-five layers.
33
Describe Intenet Layer 1
Physical: physical correlation between the sender and the receiver. - transfer a series of electrical, radio or light signals through the circuit. - specifies the type of connection and signals.
34
Describe Internet Layer 2.
- Data link: responsible for moving a message from one computer to the next computer. - controls the physical layer by deciding when to transmit messages over the media. - formats messages by indicating where they start and end. - detects and may correct any errors that have occurred during transmission.
35
Describe internet layer 3
Network layer: performs routing. | -finds the address of that computer if it doesn't already know it.
36
Describe internet layer 4.
- Transport layer: Responsible for linking the application layer software to the network and establishing end-to-end connections between the sender and receiver. - breaks long messages into several smaller messages and recombines. - detect lost messages and request they be resent.
37
Describe internet layer 5.
application layer: application software used by the network user. User's access to the network. -defines what messages are sent over the network.
38
What is a hardware layer?
the physical and data link layer.
39
What is the internetwork layer?
-the transport and network layers.
40
What is a protocol?
-a set of rules that define what the layer will do and provides a clearly defined set of messages that software at the layer needs to understand.
41
What is an example of a PDU at the application layer?
HTTP packet.
42
What is an example of a PDU at the Transport layer?
-TCP segment.
43
What is an example of a PDU at the network layer?
-IP packet.
44
What is an example of a PDU at the Data link layer?
-ethernet frame.
45
What is an example of a physical layer PDU.
-there isn't one, only bits.
46
What is an advantage of using layers?
-easy to develop new software.
47
What is a standard?
-defines a set of rules called protocols that explain exactly how hardware and software that conform to the standard are required to operate.
48
What is a disadvantage of layers?
- somewhat inefficient. | - PDUs add to the total amount of data that must be sent.
49
What is a de juro standard?
- developed by an official industry or government body. | - formal standard.
50
What is a de facto standard?
-those that emerge in the marketplace and are supported by several vendors but have no official standing.
51
Describe the de juro standardization process.
-application, identification of choices, and acceptance.
52
What is the ITU-T
International Telecommunications Union-Telecommunications. | -based in geneva.
53
What is ANSI
American National Standards Institute.
54
What is broadband?
-high speed communication circuits.
55
what is convergence?
-the integration of voice, video, and data communication.
56
What is an application service provider?
-develops a specific systems and companies purchase the service without ever installing the stystem on their own computers.
57
What is an information utility?
-company that provides a wide range of standardized information services.
