5. Explain OSI reference model.
Ans: OSI stands for Open Systems Interconnection. It has been developed by
ISO – ‘International Organization for Standardization‘, in the year 1984. It
is a 7-layer architecture with each layer having specific functionality to
perform. All these 7 layers work collaboratively to transmit the data from
one person to another across the globe.

Layer 1- Physical Layer: The lowest layer of the OSI reference model is the
physical layer. It is responsible for the actual physical connection between the
devices. The physical layer contains information in the form of bits. It is
responsible for transmitting individual bits from one node to the next. When
receiving data, this layer will get the signal received and convert it into 0s and 1s
and send them to the Data Link layer, which will put the frame back together.

Layer 2- Data Link Layer (DLL): The data link layer is responsible for the
node-to-node delivery of the message. The main function of this layer is to make
sure data transfer is error-free from one node to another, over the physical layer.
When a packet arrives in a network, it is the responsibility of the DLL to transmit
it to the Host using its MAC address.
 Layer 3- Network Layer: The network layer works for the transmission of data
from one host to the other located in different networks. It also takes care of
packet routing i.e. selection of the shortest path to transmit the packet, from the
number of routes available. The sender & receiver’s IP addresses are placed in
the header by the network layer.

Layer 4- Transport Layer: The transport layer provides services to the

application layer and takes services from the network layer. The data in the
transport layer is referred to as Segments. It is responsible for the End to End
Delivery of the complete message. The transport layer also provides the
acknowledgment of the successful data transmission and re-transmits the data if
an error is found.

Layer 5- Session Layer: This layer is responsible for the establishment of

connection, maintenance of sessions, and authentication, and also ensures
security.

Layer 6- Presentation Layer: The presentation layer is also called the

Translation layer. The data from the application layer is extracted here and
manipulated as per the required format to transmit over the network.

Layer 7- Application Layer: At the very top of the OSI Reference Model stack
of layers, we find the Application layer which is implemented by the network
applications. These applications produce the data, which has to be transferred
over the network. This layer also serves as a window for the application services
to access the network and for displaying the received information to the user.
