The seven layers of the OSI model are:
- Physical layer: This layer deals with the physical components of the network, such as cables, connectors, and network interface cards. Its main purpose is to transmit raw data bits across a physical medium.
- Data link layer: This layer is responsible for the reliable transfer of data across a physical link. It is responsible for framing, error detection, and flow control.
- Network layer: This layer provides logical addressing and routing services to enable data to be transported across multiple networks. Its main responsibility is to route data packets from the source network to the destination network.
- Transport layer: This layer is responsible for ensuring the reliable delivery of data across a network. It provides end-to-end error recovery and flow control mechanisms.
- Session layer: This layer establishes, manages, and terminates connections between applications. It also provides synchronization and checkpointing services.
- Presentation layer: This layer deals with the representation of data, such as data encryption, compression, and decompression.
- Application layer: This layer provides network services to user applications, such as file transfer, email, and web browsing.
There are many images of the OSI layers, google them to find one and use the text above to label each.
