Abstract
The Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model is a reference tool for understanding data
communications between any two networked systems. It divides the communications processes into
seven layers. Each layer both performs specific functions to support the layers above it and offers
services to the layers below it. The three lowest layers focus on passing traffic through the network to
an end system. The top four layers come into play in the end system to complete the process.
This presentation will provide you with an understanding of each of the seven layers, including their
functions and their relationships to each other. This will provide you with an overview of the network
process, which can then act as a framework for understanding the details of computer networking. Also
this paper will......
