The OSI Model and the TCP/IP Protocol Suite
The OSI Model and the TCP/IP Protocol Suite------------- Next Slide------------------- Behrouz A. Forouzan
OBJECTIVES
To discuss the idea of multiple layering in data communication and networking and the interrelationship between layers.
To discuss the OSI model and its layer architecture and to show the interface between the layers.
To briefly discuss the functions of each layer in the OSI model.
To introduce the TCP/IP protocol suite and compare its layers with the ones in the OSI model.
To show the functionality of each layer in the TCP/IP protocol with some examples.
To discuss the addressing mechanism used in some layers of the TCP/IP protocol suite for the delivery of a message from the source to the destination.

Example
Assume Maria and Ann are neighbors with a lot of common ideas. However, Maria speaks only Spanish, and Ann speaks only English. Since both have learned the sign language in their childhood, they enjoy meeting in a cafe a couple of days per week and exchange their ideas using signs. Occasionally, they also use a bilingual dictionary. Communication is face to face and Happens in one layer

Example
Now assume that Ann has to move to another town because of her job. Before she moves, the two meet for the last time in the same cafe. Although both are sad, Maria surprises Ann when she opens a packet that contains two small machines. The first machine can scan and transform a letter in English to a secret code or vice versa. The other machine can scan and translate a letter in Spanish to the same secret code or vice versa. Ann takes the first machine; Maria keeps the second one. The two friends can still communicate using the secret code, as shown in Fig.

THE OSI MODEL
Established in 1947, the International Standards Organization (ISO) is a multinational body dedicated to worldwide agreement on international standards. Almost three-fourths of countries in the world are represented in the ISO. 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.

PHYSICAL LAYER
Responsible for movement of data from one node to another node.
• Concerned with
•Physical Characteristics of the medium
•Representation of bits- Electrical, Electromagnetic, Optical
•Data rate
•Line Configuration
•Synchronization
•Physical Topology
•Transmission Mode- Simplex, Duplex, Half Duplex

Physical Layer

DATA LINK LAYER
Responsible for moving frames from one node to the other- Next hop delivery
Framing- divides the data from N/W layer into frames
Physical Addressing- Sender and Rx if the Rx is within the N/W, otherwise next hop addressing.
Data Flow Control on the sender
Error detection/control with the use of trailer
Access control- in case of Multi Link system

NETWORK LAYER
Source to Destination Delivery of Packets
Not required in peer-to-peer delivery
Adds Logical addresses of sender and Rx.
Routing for internetwork communication

SESSION LAYER
Network dialog controller. Establishes, maintains and Synchronizes interaction b/w comm. systems
Dialog Controlling – Half Duplex or Full Duplex
Synchronization – Allows a process to add checkpoints to a stream of data
