NETWORKING FUNDAMENTALS
Answer to Question 1:
There are seven layers that are involved in the OSI model. The physical layer is used for
transferring the communication signals through different kinds of medium, and it is used to
receive signals that are coming from this medium (Alhamedi et al, 2014). The data link layer is
used to establish the connection between the data that can be transmitted. The Media Access
control sub layer is used to establish the physical address the host of a particular network. It is
used to take the MAC address for a certain kind of network (Bora et al., 2014). Network layer is
used to manage the logical address of the information that can distribute in to the packets and
also the submission of those packets at the exact end. The logical address is used detect a system
that is situated in a certain network system. The transport layer handles many kind of reliable or
unreliable delivery of the information to the end (He et al., 2016). It is also used to segregate the
data in to tiny number of packets. Session layer is responsible for establishing the session sin the
network systems. The presentation layer converts the data into specific format. In the application
layer a request related to the web are transferred.
The software layer of the OSI layer is used to establish the connection between the links.
The hardware layer is used to establish the contact by sending different kinds of medium.
The network layer is also known as the internet layer. In this layer the IP address and also
the routing in practical format (Bora et al., 2014). When the data is transferred from one end to
another then a LAN to that node to another node to the other LANs. That is why it is also called
internet layer.
