Digital Bridges: From the OSI Model to the Internet of Things

Digital Bridges: Navigating the Evolution from OSI Model to Internet of Things Understanding the OSI Model The OSI Model serves as a fundamental framework for understanding network communication, dividing it into seven distinct layers. This section provides readers with a comprehensive overview of each layer’s role in data transmission, including network protocols, addressing schemes, and … Read more

Application Layer Overview

The application layer is the seventh and highest layer in the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model and provides a platform for applications to communicate over a network. The application layer defines the protocols used by applications to communicate with each other, as well as how they are represented. The application layer is responsible for providing … Read more

Presentation Layer

The presentation layer is the sixth layer of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model. It is responsible for translating data from a common format to one that can be understood by the application. This process allows diverse types of data to be presented in a consistent manner. The presentation layer also provides encryption and compression … Read more

Session Layer

The session layer is a software layer and layer number five in the seven-layer OSI model of computer networking. Its main purpose is to establish, maintain, and terminate connections between applications. The session layer allows two applications on different hosts to communicate with each other. It establishes, maintains, and terminates the connections between them. The … Read more

Physical Layer Overview

The physical layer also known as PHY is the lowest layer in the OSI model of computer networking. This layer is responsible for transmitting raw data bits over a physical medium such as copper wire, optical fiber, or radio waves. The physical layer defines the electrical, mechanical, and procedural characteristics of the interface between a … Read more

OSI

The Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model is a seven-layer network model that was developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in 1984. The OSI model is a logical decomposition of networking into seven distinct layers. Each layer provides specific services to the layer above it and receives services from the layer below it. The … Read more
