Define Same-layer interaction
|
The communication between two networking devices for the purposes of the functions defined at a particular layer of a networking model. This communication is conducted using a header and encapsulated data defined by that layer of the model.
|
Define Adjacent-layer interaction
|
The basic concept of how on one computer two adjacent layers in a network model work together with the lower layer providing services to the higher layer.
|
In regards to TCP, What is a segment?
|
A segment is the term used to describe the TCP header and its encapsulated data. I.E. the transport layer in the TCP/IP model
|
What is a packet?
|
A Packet is the IP header and its encapsulated data, i.e. the Internet layer of the TCP/IP model
|
What is a Frame?
|
A frame is the Link Header, it's encapsulated data, and the Link trailer. i.e. the Network access layer of the TCP/IP model.
|
What is a protocol data unit (PDU)?
|
A PDU is an OSI Layer term to generically refer to a grouping of information at a particular layer of the OSI model. i.e. LxPDU would imply the data and headers as defined by Layer X

List and define layer 7 of the OSI Model & Provide an Example(s)
|
Application - Interfaces between network and application software. Also includes user authentication services
|
List and define layer 6 of the OSI Model & Provide an Example
|
Presentation - Defines and negotiates data formats between systems. It also defines encryption. Examples ASCII, JPEG, binary.
|
List and define layer 5 of the OSI Model & Provide an Example
|
Session - Establishes and maintains end-to-end bidirectional flows between endpoints. Includes managing transaction flows
|
List and define layer 4 of the OSI Model & Provide an Example
|
Transport - Provides connection establishment and termination, flow control, error recovery, and segmentation of large data blocks into smaller parts for transmission.
|
List and define layer 3 of the OSI Model & Provide an Example
|
Network - Logical addressing, routing, and path determination.
|
List and define layer 2 of the OSI Model & Provide an Example
|
Data-link - formats data into frames appropriate for transmission onto some physical medium. Defines rules for when the medium can be used. Defines means by which to recognize transmission errors.
|
List and define layer 1 of the OSI Model & Provide an Example
|
Physical - Defines the electrical, optical, cabling, connectors, and procedural details required for transmitting bits over a physical medium.
