  • Solutions to Chapter 2
    CS413 Computer Networks ASN 4 Solutions Solutions to Assignment #4 3. What difference does it make to the network layer if the underlying data link layer provides a connection-oriented service versus a connectionless service? [4 marks] Solution: If the data link layer provides a connection-oriented service to the network layer, then the network layer must precede all transfer of information with a connection setup procedure (2). If the connection-oriented service includes assurances that frames of information are transferred correctly and in sequence by the data link layer, the network layer can then assume that the packets it sends to its neighbor traverse an error-free pipe. On the other hand, if the data link layer is connectionless, then each frame is sent independently through the data link, probably in unconfirmed manner (without acknowledgments or retransmissions). In this case the network layer cannot make assumptions about the sequencing or correctness of the packets it exchanges with its neighbors (2). The Ethernet local area network provides an example of connectionless transfer of data link frames. The transfer of frames using "Type 2" service in Logical Link Control (discussed in Chapter 6) provides a connection-oriented data link control example. 4. Suppose transmission channels become virtually error-free. Is the data link layer still needed? [2 marks – 1 for the answer and 1 for explanation] Solution: The data link layer is still needed(1) for framing the data and for flow control over the transmission channel. In a multiple access medium such as a LAN, the data link layer is required to coordinate access to the shared medium among the multiple users (1).

  • The Internet in Iot—OSI, TCP/IP, Ipv4, Ipv6 and Internet Routing
    Chapter 2 The Internet in IoT—OSI, TCP/IP, IPv4, IPv6 and Internet Routing Reliable and efficient communication is considered one of the most complex tasks in large-scale networks. Nearly all data networks in use today are based on the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) standard. The OSI model was introduced by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), in 1984, to address this composite problem. ISO is a global federation of national standards organizations representing over 100 countries. The model is intended to describe and standardize the main communication functions of any telecommunication or computing system without regard to their underlying internal structure and technology. Its goal is the interoperability of diverse communication systems with standard protocols. The OSI is a conceptual model of how various components communicate in data-based networks. It uses “divide and conquer” concept to virtually break down network communication responsibilities into smaller functions, called layers, so they are easier to learn and develop. With well-defined standard interfaces between layers, OSI model supports modular engineering and multivendor interoperability. 2.1 The Open Systems Interconnection Model The OSI model consists of seven layers as shown in Fig. 2.1: physical (Layer 1), data link (Layer 2), network (Layer 3), transport (Layer 4), session (Layer 5), presentation (Layer 6), and application (Layer 7). Each layer provides some well-defined services to the adjacent layer further up or down the stack, although the distinction can become a bit less defined in Layers 6 and 7 with some services overlapping the two layers. • OSI Layer 7—Application Layer: Starting from the top, the application layer is an abstraction layer that specifies the shared protocols and interface methods used by hosts in a communications network.

Introduction One of the most important networking concepts to understand is the Open Systems Interconnect (OSI) reference model. This conceptual model, created by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in 1978 and revised in 1984, describes a network architecture that allows data to be passed between computer systems. This chapter looks at the OSI model and describes how it relates to real-world networking. It also examines how common network devices relate to the OSI model. Even though the OSI model is conceptual, an appreciation of its purpose and function can help you better understand how protocol suites and network architectures work in practical applications. The OSI Seven-Layer Model As shown in Figure 4.1, the OSI reference model is built, bottom to top, in the following order: physical, data link, network, transport, session, presentation, and application.

  • Lecture: TCP/IP 2
    TCP/IP- Lecture 2 [email protected] How TCP/IP Works • The four-layer model is a common model for describing TCP/IP networking, but it isn’t the only model. • The ARPAnet model, for instance, as described in RFC 871, describes three layers: the Network Interface layer, the Host-to- Host layer, and the Process-Level/Applications layer. • Other descriptions of TCP/IP call for a five-layer model, with Physical and Data Link layers in place of the Network Access layer (to match OSI). Still other models might exclude either the Network Access or the Application layer, which are less uniform and harder to define than the intermediate layers. • The names of the layers also vary. The ARPAnet layer names still appear in some discussions of TCP/IP, and the Internet layer is sometimes called the Internetwork layer or the Network layer. [email protected] 2 [email protected] 3 TCP/IP Model • Network Access layer: Provides an interface with the physical network. Formats the data for the transmission medium and addresses data for the subnet based on physical hardware addresses. Provides error control for data delivered on the physical network. • Internet layer: Provides logical, hardware-independent addressing so that data can pass among subnets with different physical architectures. Provides routing to reduce traffic and support delivery across the internetwork. (The term internetwork refers to an interconnected, greater network of local area networks (LANs), such as what you find in a large company or on the Internet.) Relates physical addresses (used at the Network Access layer) to logical addresses.

  • The OSI Model: Understanding the Seven Layers of Computer Networks
    Expert Reference Series of White Papers The OSI Model: Understanding the Seven Layers of Computer Networks 1-800-COURSES www.globalknowledge.com The OSI Model: Understanding the Seven Layers of Computer Networks Paul Simoneau, Global Knowledge Course Director, Network+, CCNA, CTP Introduction 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 white paper 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. Since the discussion of networking often includes talk of “extra layers”, this paper will address these unofficial layers as well. Finally, this paper will draw comparisons between the theoretical OSI model and the functional TCP/IP model. Although TCP/IP has been used for network communications before the adoption of the OSI model, it supports the same functions and features in a differently layered arrangement.
