When Communication is simple
Example 1 The communication is so simple that it can occur in only one layer (sign language) Speak Spanish Speak English
3
When Communication is not simple
Example 2 Ann has to move to another town because of her job We need three layers It is hierarchical (the tasks must be done in the order given in the hierarchy) Each layer uses the services of the layer immediately below it Each layer gives the services to the layer immediately above it
4
Before 1990 everyone believed that the OSI model would become the ultimate standard for data communications - but this did not happen
5
The TCP/IP protocol suite became the dominant commercial architecture because it was used and tested extensively in the Internet the OSI model was never fully implemented
6
THE OSI MODEL
7
Established in 1947, the International Standards Organization (ISO) is a multinational body dedicated to worldwide agreement on international standards An ISO standard that covers all aspects of network communications is the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model It was first introduced in the late 1970s
8
An open system is a set of protocols that allows any two different systems to communicate regardless of their underlying architecture The OSI model is not a protocol; it is a model for understanding and designing a network architecture that is flexible, robust, and interoperable The OSI model was intended to be the basis for the creation of the protocols in the OSI stack
9
The OSI model The user support layers; they allow interoperability among unrelated software systems; They are almost always implemented in software the transport layer, links the two subgroups and ensures that what the lower layers have transmitted is in a form that the upper layers can use The network support layers; they deal with the physical aspects of moving data from one device to another (such as electrical specifications, physical connections, physical addressing, and transport timing and reliability); They are a combination of hardware and software, except for the physical layer, which is mostly hardware

Decapsulation Encapsulation
12
Physical Layer Responsible for moving individual bits from one (node) to the next It coordinates the functions required to carry a bit stream over a physical medium. It deals with the mechanical and electrical specifications of the interface and transmission media It defines the procedures and functions that physical devices and interfaces have to perform for transmission to occur
13
The physical layer is also concerned with the following
Physical characteristics of interfaces and media Representation of bits Data rate Synchronization of bits Line configuration Physical topology Transmission mode
14
Data Link Layer The data link layer is responsible for moving frames from one hop (node) to the next The data link layer transforms the physical layer, a raw transmission facility, to a reliable link It makes the physical layer appear error-free to the upper layer (network layer)
16
Other responsibilities of the data link layer include the following
Framing Physical addressing Flow control Error control Access control
17
Network Interface Card
Perform layer 1 and 2 protocols
18
Network Layer The network layer is responsible for the source-to-destination delivery of a packet, possibly across multiple networks (links) Whereas the data link layer oversees the delivery of the packet between two systems on the same network (link) The network layer ensures that each packet gets from its point of origin to its final destination
21
Other responsibilities of the network layer include the following
Logical addressing Routing
22
Transport Layer The transport layer is responsible for the delivery of a message from one process to another A process is an application program running on the host
23
Reliable process-to-process delivery of a message
24
Differences with Network Layer
Network layer oversees source-to-destination delivery of individual packets It does not recognize any relationship between those packets The transport layer ensures that the whole message arrives intact and in order Overseeing both error control and flow control at the source-to-destination level
25
Other responsibilities of the transport layer
Service-point addressing (port address) Segmentation and reassembly Connection control The transport layer can be either connectionless or connection oriented Flow control Error control
26
Session Layer Session layer establishes, maintains, and synchronizes the interaction between communicating systems Responsibilities Dialog control Synchronization
28
Presentation Layer The presentation layer is concerned with the syntax and semantics of the information exchanged between two systems Translation Encryption Compression
30
Application Layer The application layer enables the user, whether human or software, to access the network It provides user interfaces and support for services ( , remote file access etc.) Services provided : Network virtual terminal File transfer, access, and management (FTAM) services Directory services

Summary of OSI Layers
33
TCP/IP PROTOCOL SUITE
34
The TCP/IP protocol suite was developed prior to the OSI model
35
TCP/IP versus OSI model
36
Layers in the TCP/IP Protocol Suite
To discuss the purpose of each layer in the TCP/IP protocol suite, we will study a small private internet
38
Physical Layer TCP/IP does not define any specific protocol for the physical layer It supports all of the standard and proprietary protocols The communication is between two hops or nodes, either a computer or router The unit of communication is a single bit
39
We assume that the most efficient way to communicate with each other is via routers
R1, R3, and R4 if a node is connected to n links, it needs n physical-layer protocols, one for each link because links may use different physical-layer protocols
40
Data Link Layer TCP/IP does not define any specific protocol for the data link layer either It supports all of the standard and proprietary protocols The communication is also between two hops or nodes The unit of communication however, is a packet called a frame
41
These frames may be different because link 1 and link 3 may be using different protocols and require frames of different formats
42
Network Layer At the network layer (or, more accurately, the internetwork layer), TCP/IP supports the Internet Protocol (IP) IP is the transmission mechanism used by the TCP/IP protocols IP transports data in packets called datagrams, each of which is transported separately Datagrams can travel along different routes and can arrive out of sequence or be duplicated IP does not keep track of the routes and has no facility for reordering datagrams once they arrive at their destination
44
Transport Layer Only the two end computers need to have the transport layer The transport layer is responsible for delivering the whole message, which is called a segment from A to B A segment may consist of a few or tens of datagrams Where as the network layer is responsible for sending individual datagrams from computer A to computer B
45
The segments need to be broken into datagrams and each datagram has to be delivered to the network layer for transmission Since the Internet defines a different route for each datagram, the datagrams may arrive out of order and may be lost The transport layer at computer B needs to wait until all of these datagrams to arrive, assemble them and make a segment out of them
46
The transport layer was represented in the TCP/IP suite by two protocols:
User Datagram Protocol (UDP) Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) A new protocol called Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) has been introduced in the last few years
48
Application Layer The application layer in TCP/IP is equivalent to the combined session, presentation, and application layers in the OSI model The application layer allows a user to access the services of our private internet or the global Internet electronic mail, file transfer, accessing the World Wide Web, etc. The unit of communication at the application layer is a message
50
Addressing User-friendly addresses that are designed for specific application To enable communication between processes Needed in which each host can be identified uniquely, regardless of the underlying physical network The address of a node as defined by its LAN or WAN Have authority over the link
51
Physical Addresses Also known as the link address
52
Destination physical addresses can be either
unicast one single recipient multicast a group of recipients broadcast to be received by all systems in the network
53
Logical Addresses Logical addresses are necessary for universal communications that are independent of underlying physical networks Physical addresses are not adequate in an internetwork environment where different networks can have different address formats A universal addressing system is needed in which each host can be identified uniquely, regardless of the underlying physical network The logical addresses are designed for this purpose
54
A logical address in the Internet is currently a 32-bit address (IPv4) and a 128-bit address (IPv6), that can uniquely define a host connected to the Internet No two publicly addressed and visible hosts on the Internet can have the same IP address
55
datagram with dst. and src. logical address
Frame with dst. and src. physical address The physical addresses will change from hop to hop, but the logical addresses remain the same
56
Port Addresses Computers are devices that can run multiple processes at the same time The end objective of Internet communication is a process communicating with another process For example, computer A can communicate with computer C by using TELNET, at the same time, computer A communicates with computer B by using the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) In the TCP/IP architecture, the label assigned to a process is called a port address A port address in TCP/IP is 16 bits in length (represented by one decimal number)
57
The physical addresses change from hop to hop, but the logical and port addresses usually remain the same
58
Application-Specific Addresses
User-friendly addresses that are designed for specific application Examples include the address (for example, and the Universal Resource Locator (URL) (for example,
