Understanding the OSI Reference Model: Protocols at Each Layer

protocols at each layer of OSI model



The OSI (Open Systems Interconnection) reference model is a conceptual framework used to understand network interactions in seven distinct layers. Each layer has specific protocols that facilitate communication and data exchange. Let’s dive into the OSI model and explore the protocols that operate at each layer.

Application layer

It’s responsible for providing an interface for the user to interact with application services or network services. Ex-Web browser (HTTP), Telne


Presentation layer

It’s responsible for defining a standard format to the data. The major functions described at this layer are: -

Encoding-Decoding Ex- AVI-(video), WAV-(voice), JPEG (graphite), ASCII (text) Encryption-Decryption

Session layer

It’s responsible for establishing, maintaining, and terminating the sessions. Session ID is used to identify a session or interaction.

Ex-Remote procedural call, Apple talk session protocol.



Transport Layer

It provides data delivery mechanism between applications in the network. Transport layer is the major function layer In OSI layer

Identifying service

Multiplexing&De-multiplexing Segmentation, Error correction, flow control Transport layer protocols?

The protocols which takes care of data transport at transport layer are TCP/UDP


Difference between UDP & TCP.



Network Layer
It provides logical addressing path determination (routing)

The protocols that work in this layer are: -Routed Protocol, Routing Protocol Routed Protocols→Used to carry user data between data.

Routing Protocols→used performs path determinisation routing.

Data link layer

It provides communication with network layer.

Mac (media access control) it provides reliable transit of data across a physical link.

Physical layer

It defines the electrical, mechanical functional specification for communication between the network devices.

Rectangular Microstrip Patch Antenna

Microstrip is a type of electrical transmission line which can be fabricated using printed circuit board technology, and is used to convey microwave-frequency signals. It consists of a conducting strip separated from a ground plane by a dielectric layer known as the substrate. The most commonly employed microstrip antenna is a rectangular patch which looks like a truncated  microstrip  transmission line. It is approximately of one-half wavelength long. When air is used as the dielectric substrate, the length of the rectangular microstrip antenna is approximately one-half of a free-space  wavelength . As the antenna is loaded with a dielectric as its substrate, the length of the antenna decreases as the relative  dielectric constant  of the substrate increases. The resonant length of the antenna is slightly shorter because of the extended electric "fringing fields" which increase the electrical length of the antenna slightly. An early model of the microst...
