Physical Layer (OSI Model)


The Physical Layer is where we finally transmit our data. It is also when we initially receive data.



When we send data, we translate frames into bits and transmit them through the respective medium, be it twisted pai...

Data Link Layer (OSI Model)


The Data Link is where we handle Media Access Control operations. It’s also how we deal with routing traffic. The Network Layer is where we do the IP Addressing, but when we IP route, we need to work with MAC Addresse...

Network Layer (OSI Model)


The Network Layer of the OSI Model is where we have packets. These packets don’t yet have a destination when your sending data.



While they don’t have a destination, this is where we give them an address to go. Wh...

Transport Layer (OSI Model)


The Transport Layer of the OSI Model is where protocols such as UDP and TCP interact. We assign port numbers here as well. In this stage of the OSI Model, we deal with segments.



We now have a mechanism to determine i...

Session Layer (OSI Model)


The session layer of the OSI Model is where sessions get managed. Being able to keep track of what data belongs to what process is a crucial part of being able to manage multiple sessions at the same time.

Presentation Layer (OSI Model)


In the OSI Model, the Presentation Layer is where we format, compress, or encrypt, ensuring that the applications involved can use the data. This process ensures that the applications involved can use the data received....

Application Layer (OSI Model)


The Application layer is where Network Traffic Begins and Ends. When we initiate network traffic, we utilize an application to process network data to send.



In this stage of packet generation, we refer to what's gett...
