OSI Model

The OSI(Open System Interconnection) model is a layered framework to implement protocols. It consists of seven separate but related layers, each of which defines a part of the process of moving information across a network.

 The International Standards Organisation(ISO) developed the Open Systems Interconnection(OSI) model.

 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 Seven Layers of OSI are:-


7.Application
6.Presentation
5.Session
4.Transport
3.Network
2.Data Link
1. Physical
