04. Transport Layer of OSI Model (Layer4)

OSI Model - Transport Layer, ATech, Waqas Karim

Transport Layer is the fourth layer in 7Layer OSI Model after Network Layer. Similar to L2 & L3, this layer also performs addressing & multiplexing … but at Transport Layer. OSI Model divides the network communication processes into seven layers in order to simplify it. Each layer performs specific functions to support the layers above it. The 7x Layer model starts from Physical till Application Layer. The core concept behind Transport is “support of Multitasking” … it allows same computer, browser & internet connection to work on multiple applications simultaneously … & this is achieved through Port Numbers, Transport Layer Read More …

05. Session Layer of OSI Model (Layer5)

OSI Model - Session Layer, ATech, Waqas Karim

As obvious from the name, this layer is designed to allow devices to establish and manage sessions so that multiple channels could be established b/w same terminals. Session Layer is the 5th layer in the 7Layer OSI Model after Transport Layer. OSI Model divides the network communication processes into seven layers in order to simplify it. Each layer performs specific functions to support the layers above it. The 7x Layer model starts from Physical till Application Layer. Session Layer is also called as port layer. The main function of Session Layer is to establish, maintain and synchronize the interaction between Read More …

01. Physical Layer of OSI Model (Layer1)

OSI Model - Physical Layer, ATech, Waqas Karim

The 7x Layer model starts from Physical till Application Layer. OSI Model divides the network communication processes into seven layers in order to simplify it. Each layer performs specific functions to support the layers above it. Physical Layer is the first & lowest layer in the 7Layer OSI Model. It is responsible for ultimate transmission of data between sender & receiver. The physical layer defines the means of transmitting raw bits over the transmission media.  It also defines how the data is carried over the Physical media rather than logical data packets over a physical data link connecting network nodes. The Read More …
