WEEK-2, LESSON-1

NETWORK MODEL
Layered Task
We use the concept of layers in our daily life. As an
example, let us consider two friends who communicate
through postal mail. The process of sending a letter to a
friend would be complex if there were no services available
from the post office. See the next slide.

The OSI model
Established in 1947, the International Standards
Organization (ISO) is a multinational body dedicated to
worldwide agreement on international standards. An ISO
standard that covers all aspects of network
communications is the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI)
model. It was first introduced in the late 1970s.

Layers of the OSI model

The OSI model

Data Communication Lecture Series, NRC, MAY2020 2.6


Physical Layer

Data Communication Lecture Series, NRC, MAY2020 2.7


Functionalities of Physical Layer
• Following are the various functions performed by the Physical layer of the OSI
model.

• Representation of Bits: Data in this layer consists of stream of bits. The bits must
be encoded into signals for transmission. It defines the type of encoding i.e. how
0's and 1's are changed to signal.
• Data Rate: This layer defines the rate of transmission which is the number of bits
per second.
• Synchronization: It deals with the synchronization of the transmitter and receiver.
The sender and receiver are synchronized at bit level.
• Interface: The physical layer defines the transmission interface between devices
and transmission medium.
• Line Configuration: This layer connects devices with the medium: Point to Point
configuration and Multipoint configuration.
• Topologies: Devices must be connected using the following topologies: Mesh,
Star, Ring and Bus.
• Transmission Modes: Physical Layer defines the direction of transmission
between two devices: Simplex, Half Duplex, Full Duplex.
• Deals with baseband and broadband transmission.

Data Link Layer

Data Communication Lecture Series, NRC, MAY2020 2.9


Functionalities of Datalink Layer
• Following are the various functions performed by the Datalink layer of the OSI
model.

• Framing: Frames are the streams of bits received from the network layer into
manageable data units. This division of stream of bits is done by Data Link Layer.
• Physical Addressing: The Data Link layer adds a header to the frame in order to
define physical address of the sender or receiver of the frame, if the frames are to
be distributed to different systems on the network.
• Flow Control: A flow control mechanism to avoid a fast transmitter from running
a slow receiver by buffering the extra bit is provided by flow control. This prevents
traffic jam at the receiver side.
• Error Control: Error control is achieved by adding a trailer at the end of the frame.
Duplication of frames are also prevented by using this mechanism. Data Link
Layers adds mechanism to prevent duplication of frames.
• Access Control: Protocols of this layer determine which of the devices has control
over the link at any given time, when two or more devices are connected to the
same link.

Network Layer

Data Communication Lecture Series, NRC, MAY2020 2.12


Functionalities of Network Layer
• Following are the various functions performed by the network layer of the
OSI model.

• It translates logical network address into physical address. Concerned


with circuit, message or packet switching.
• Routers and gateways operate in the network layer. Mechanism is
provided by Network Layer for routing the packets to final destination.
• Connection services are provided including network layer flow control,
network layer error control and packet sequence control.
• Breaks larger packets into small packets.

Source to Destination delivery

Data Communication Lecture Series, NRC, MAY2020 2.14


Transport Layer

Data Communication Lecture Series, NRC, MAY2020 2.15


Functionalities of Transport Layer
• Following are the various functions performed by the Transport layer of the OSI
model.

• Service Point Addressing: Transport Layer header includes service point address
which is port address. This layer gets the message to the correct process on the
computer unlike Network Layer, which gets each packet to the correct computer.
• Segmentation and Reassembling: A message is divided into segments; each
segment contains sequence number, which enables this layer in reassembling the
message. Message is reassembled correctly upon arrival at the destination and
replaces packets which were lost in transmission.
• Connection Control: It includes 2 types:
• Connectionless Transport Layer : Each segment is considered as an independent packet
and delivered to the transport layer at the destination machine.
• Connection Oriented Transport Layer : Before delivering packets, connection is made
with transport layer at the destination machine.
• Flow Control: In this layer, flow control is performed end to end.
• Error Control: Error Control is performed end to end in this layer to ensure that
the complete message arrives at the receiving transport layer without any error.
Error Correction is done through retransmission.

Session Layer

Data Communication Lecture Series, NRC, MAY2020 2.18


Functionalities of Session Layer
• Following are the various functions performed by the session layer of the
OSI model.

• Dialog Control : This layer allows two systems to start communication


with each other in half-duplex or full-duplex.
• Token Management: This layer prevents two parties from attempting the
same critical operation at the same time.
• Synchronization : This layer allows a process to add checkpoints which are
considered as synchronization points into stream of data. Example: If a
system is sending a file of 800 pages, adding checkpoints after every 50
pages is recommended. This ensures that 50 page unit is successfully
received and acknowledged. This is beneficial at the time of crash as if a
crash happens at page number 110; there is no need to retransmit 1
to100 pages.

Presentation Layer

Data Communication Lecture Series, NRC, MAY2020 2.20


Functionalities of Presentation Layer
• Following are the various functions performed by the presentation layer
of the OSI model.

• Translation: Before being transmitted, information in the form of


characters and numbers should be changed to bit streams. The
presentation layer is responsible for interoperability between encoding
methods as different computers use different encoding methods. It
translates data between the formats the network requires and the format
the computer.
• Encryption: It carries out encryption at the transmitter and decryption at
the receiver.
• Compression: It carries out data compression to reduce the bandwidth of
the data to be transmitted. The primary role of Data compression is to
reduce the number of bits to be 0transmitted. It is important in
transmitting multimedia such as audio, video, text etc.

Application Layer

Data Communication Lecture Series, NRC, MAY2020 2.22


Functionalities of Application Layer
• Following are the various functions performed by the application layer of
the OSI model.
• Mail Services: This layer provides the basis for E-mail forwarding and
storage.
• Network Virtual Terminal: It allows a user to log on to a remote host. The
application creates software emulation of a terminal at the remote host.
User's computer talks to the software terminal which in turn talks to the
host and vice versa. Then the remote host believes it is communicating
with one of its own terminals and allows user to log on.
• Directory Services: This layer provides access for global information about
various services.
• File Transfer, Access and Management (FTAM): It is a standard
mechanism to access files and manages it. Users can access files in a
remote computer and manage it. They can also retrieve files from a
remote computer.
