OSI
|
Open Systems Interconnection. A model depicting a universal set of specifications to understand how computers communicate over a network.
|
Name the seven layers of the OSI model
|
Application, Presentation, Session, Transport, Network, Data link, Physical.
|
The layer that separates data into protocol data units (PDU). The seventh layer of the OSI model. negotiates formatting, procedures, security and synchronization.
|
The Application Layer.
|
HTTP
|
Hypertext Transfer Protocol. An Application layer protocol the formats and sends your request from your client's browser to the server.
|
This layer manages data encryption. Accepts 7th layer data and formats it so one type of application and host can understand another type application and host. Serves as a translator. It is this layer that performs the coding and compression. It is the 6th layer of the OSI model.
|
Presentation Layer.
|
Name two well-known methods of encoding text.
|
ASCII & EBCDIC
|
When you connect with your ISP. The ISP's server and your computer negotiate the connection. If all connections are fine no disconnection will occur. The layer that controls this negotiation is called? It is the 5th layer of the OSI model.
|
Session Layer
|
Protocols in this layer coordinate and maintain communications between two nodes (computers or devices). Refers to a connection for ongoing data exchange. Monitors the id of event and ensures only those authorized are connected.
