• The OSI reference model
• Services in the OSI model
Topics
• OSI Reference Model - internationally
standardised network architecture.
• OSI = Open Systems Interconnection: deals
with open systems, i.e. systems open for
communications with other systems.
• Specified in ISO 7498.
• Model has 7 layers.
OSI Reference Model
• Layers 1-4 relate to
communications technology.
• Layers 5-7 relate to user
applications.

Communications subnet boundary
• Level at which applications access network
services.
– Represents services that directly support
software applications for file transfers,
database access, and electronic mail etc.
Layer 7: Application Layer
• Related to representation of transmitted
data
– Translates different data representations from
the Application layer into uniform standard
format
• Providing services for secure efficient data
transmission
– e.g. data encryption, and data compression.
Layer 6: Presentation Layer
• Allows two applications on different computers to
establish, use, and end a session.
– e.g. file transfer, remote login
• Establishes dialog control
– Regulates which side transmits, plus when and how
long it transmits.
• Performs token management and synchronization.
Layer 5: Session Layer
• Manages transmission packets
– Repackages long messages when necessary
into small packets for transmission
– Reassembles packets in correct order to get
the original message.
• Handles error recognition and recovery.
– Transport layer at receiving acknowledges
packet delivery.
– Resends missing packets
Layer 4: Transport Layer
• Manages addressing/routing of data within the
subnet
– Addresses messages and translates logical
addresses and names into physical addresses.
– Determines the route from the source to the
destination computer
– Manages traffic problems, such as switching, routing,
and controlling the congestion of data packets.
• Routing can be:
– Based on static tables
– determined at start of each session
– Individually determined for each packet, reflecting the
current network load.
Layer 3: Network Layer
 Packages raw bits from the Physical layer
into frames (logical, structured packets for
data).
 Provides reliable transmission of frames
 It waits for an acknowledgment from the
receiving computer.
 Retransmits frames for which
acknowledgement not received
Layer 2: Data Link Layer
• Transmits bits from one computer to another
• Regulates the transmission of a stream of bits
over a physical medium.
• Defines how the cable is attached to the network
adapter and what transmission technique is used
to send data over the cable. Deals with issues
like
– The definition of 0 and 1, e.g. how many volts represents a
1, and how long a bit lasts?
– Whether the channel is simplex or duplex?
– How many pins a connector has, and what the function of
each pin is?

• In OSI model, each layer provide services to
layer above, and ‘consumes’ services provided
by layer below.
• Active elements in a layer called entities.
• Entities in same layer in different machines
called peer entities.

• Layer N provides service to layer N+1

• Layers can offer connection-oriented or
connectionless services.
• Connection-oriented like telephone system.
• Connectionless like postal system.
• Each service has an associated Quality-of-
service (e.g. reliable or unreliable).
Connections
• Reliable services never lose/corrupt data.
• Reliable service costs more.
• Typical application for reliable service is file
transfer.
• Typical application not needing reliable service
is voice traffic.
• Not all applications need connections.
Reliability
• Service = set of primitives provided by one
layer to layer above.
• Service defines what layer can do (but not how
it does it).
• Protocol = set of rules governing data
communication between peer entities, i.e.
format and meaning of frames/packets.
• Service/protocol decoupling very important.
