    Osi Model

    The document discusses the OSI model, which defines a standard framework for how computer networking functions are organized. It describes the seven layers of the OSI model from physical to application layer, and their respective functions in establishing and managing communication between networked devices. The document also differentiates between the TCP and UDP protocols, stating that TCP is connection-oriented and ensures reliable transmission through establishing and terminating connections, while UDP is connectionless and more efficient for broadcast/multicast transmissions without these overhead connections.

    1. What is OSI Model?

     The OSI Model (Open Systems Interconnection Model) is a conceptual framework used
    to describe the functions of a networking system. The OSI model characterizes
    computing functions into a universal set of rules and requirements in order to support
    interoperability between different products and software. It was the first standard model
    for network communications, adopted by all major computer and telecommunication
    companies in the early 1980s.

    2. What are the layers in OSI Model and function per layer?

     Physical Layer - The physical layer is responsible for the physical cable or wireless
    connection between network nodes. It defines the connector, the electrical cable or
    wireless technology connecting the devices, and is responsible for transmission of the
    raw data, which is simply a series of 0s and 1s, while taking care of bit rate control.

     Data Link Layer - The data link layer establishes and terminates a connection between
    two physically-connected nodes on a network. It breaks up packets into frames and
    sends them from source to destination.

     Network Layer - The network layer has two main functions. One is breaking up
    segments into network packets, and reassembling the packets on the receiving end. The
    other is routing packets by discovering the best path across a physical network.

     Transport Layer - The transport layer takes data transferred in the session layer and
    breaks it into segments on the transmitting end. It is responsible for reassembling the
    segments on the receiving end, turning it back into data that can be used by the session
    layer.

     Session Layer -The session layer creates communication channels, called sessions,
    between devices. It is responsible for opening sessions, ensuring they remain open and
    functional while data is being transferred, and closing them when communication ends.

     Presentation Layer - The presentation layer prepares data for the application layer. It
    defines how two devices should encode, encrypt, and compress data so it is received
    correctly on the other end.
     Application Layer - The application layer is used by end-user software such as web
    browsers and email clients. It provides protocols that allow software to send and receive
    information and present meaningful data to users.

    3. Differentiate between TCP and UDP

     TCP is a connection-oriented protocol. Connection-orientation means that the


    communicating devices should establish a connection before transmitting data and
    should close the connection after transmitting the data while UDP is the Datagram
    oriented protocol. This is because there is no overhead for opening a connection,
    maintaining a connection, and terminating a connection. UDP is efficient for broadcast
    and multicast type of network transmission.
