OSI Layers

OSI-Open System Interconnection is a Hierarchy model designed to have a common communication between different hardware and software vendors. When the model has been adapted by all the vendors, which has delivered a standard mode of communication.

The basic idea of this model is represent  how a data passed from one layer to another. Here we have 7 layers in OSI model. They are

  1. Application Layer
  2. Presentation Layer
  3. Session Layer
  4. Transport Layer
  5. Network Layer
  6. Data Link Layer
  7. Physical Layer.
Information passed from each and every layer is named, under Data table.

Application Layer
Message Format, Human-Machine interfaces
Telnet, HTTP
Presentation Layer
Coding into 0’s and 1’s, Encryption and Compression
ASCII/EBCDIC/JPEG/MP3
Session Layer
Authentication, Permission, Session Restoration
Operating Systems, Scheduling(NFS,WINDOWS,SQL)

Transport Layer
End to end error Control
TCP,UDP

Network Layer
Network addressing; routing and switching
IP,IPX,Apple Talk

Data Link Layer
Error detection, Flow control on physical link

Physical Layer
Bit Stream: Physical medium, method of representing bits
EIA/TIA, V.35









Application Layer:

This is the layer that actually interacts with the operating system or application whenever the user chooses to transfer files, read messages or perform other network-related activities.

Presentation Layer:

takes the data provided by the Application layer and converts it into a standard format that the other layers can understand.

Session Layer:

establishes, maintains and ends communication with the receiving device.

Transport Layer:

This layer maintains flow control of data and provides for error checking and recovery of data between the devices. Flow control means that the Transport layer looks to see if data is coming from more than one application and integrates each application's data into a single stream for the physical network.

Network Layer:

The way that the data will be sent to the recipient device is determined in this layer. Logical protocols, routing and addressing are handled here.

Data Link Layer:

In this layer, the appropriate physical protocol is assigned to the data. Also, the type of network and the packet sequencing is defined.

Physical Layer:

This is the level of the actual hardware. It defines the physical characteristics of the network such as connections, voltage levels and timing.

Profit and Loss

Cost Price (C.P.) The price at which an article is purchased or manufactured is called its cost price. Selling Price (S.P.) The price at which an article is sold, is called its selling price. Profit If the selling price of an article is greater than its cost price, we say that there is a profit or gain. Profit = Selling Price - Cost Price When S.P.>C.P. Profit = S.P. - C.P. S.P.= C.P.+Profit C.P.=S.P.-Profit Profit % = Profit/C.P. * 100 Profit = Profit % * C.P. When C.P.  and Profit% are given then, S.P. = C.P. * ((100+Profit %)/100) When S.P. and Profit % are given then C.P.= 100* S.P./100+ Profit % Loss If the selling price of an article is less than tits cost price, we say that there is a loss. Loss = Cost Price - Selling Price  When C.P.>S.P. Loss = C.P. - S.P. S.P.= C.P.-Loss C.P.=S.P.+Loss Loss % = Loss/C.P. * 100 Loss = Loss % * C.P. When C.P.  and Loss % are given then, S.P. = C.P. * ((100-Loss %)/100) When ...
