Alani Publisher: Springer ISBN: Category: Computers Page: 50 View: This work opens with an accessible introduction to computer networks, providing general definitions of commonly used terms in networking.
This is followed by a detailed description of the OSI model, including the concepts of connection-oriented and connectionless communications. The text carefully elaborates the specific functions of each layer, along with what is expected of protocols operating at each layer. Next, the journey of a single packet, from source to destination, is described in detail. Although the OSI model has become almost synonymous with data communications, it serves the public switched telephone network PSTN as well and is a productive way to organize and teach the building blocks of telecom systems.
In OSI Reference Model for Telecommunications, hands-on expert Debbra Wetteroth provides telecom staffers the information they need to gain a working knowledge of this essential telecom service architecture and equipment. Her style that breaks down the barriers between data and voice vocabularies. This quick reference to the OSI model puts the data you need everyday at your fingertips. The book explains the essential building blocks of the OSI open systems interconnection model as described in recommendation ISO Basic functions and tasks of the seven specified layers are discussed in a simple and clear way.
Computer networking is something that many people are not too certain about. They may be interested in this kind of topic and what it is able to do for them, but they worry that learning about the network they use is too complicated, or it just does not matter if they learn anything about it in the first place.
However, there are so many reasons why networking is going to be an important part of the work that you do. Whether you are handling your own personal network that just includes your computer and a few devices, or you want to create a large network and keep it safe for your business, knowing the basic parts of networking, especially when it comes to the OSI model and the different layers of that which we will discuss in this guidebook, you are going to find that it is so important to put it all together to get the best results.
This guidebook is going to take some time looking at the basics of networking, and all of the different parts that you need to know.
Some of the topics that we are going to explain in this guidebook concerning networking and even the OSI model of networking will include some of the following: The different types of networks that we are able to work on, including wired and wireless, and why these are important to set up the network. How to handle the different kinds of protocols that are out there, and how to know which one is best for the situation that you are dealing with. A more in-depth look at what the OSI model is all about and how we are able to work with this to understand how networking behaves and the communication styles that are there.
How to understand the different parts that come with the OSI model and a look at each one in more detail as we learn more about this model and how it benefits us.
Understanding the importance of network security and how this can keep your network and your data safe and secure, along with a few suggestions on how to keep hackers out of your network. The basics of computer networking can sometimes seem like it is really hard to understand, and like there are a million pieces that we need to put together before we are able to get it to work for us.
When we look at this guidebook and all of the parts that come with our networks, we can slowly start to put it together and understand better why this networking is so important.

For each layer, boundaries with its upper and lower layers only are created. The application of the above principles resulted in the seven-layer OSI reference model, which we describe next. Layer 1 is the lower layer in this model. The added framings make it possible to get the data from a source to a destination. Some orthogonal aspects, such as management and security, involve every layer.
Security services are not related to a specific layer: they can be related by several layers, as defined by ITU-T X. These services are aimed to improve the CIA triad confidentiality, integrity, and availability of transmitted data. In practice, the availability of communication service is determined by the interaction between network design and management protocols.
Appropriate choices for both of these are needed to protect against denial of service. It defines the relationship between a device and a physical transmission medium e. This includes the layout of pins, voltages, line impedance, cable specifications, signal timing, hubs, repeaters, network adapters, host bus adapters HBA used in storage and more. This channel can involve physical cabling such as copper and optical fiber or a wireless radio link. Layer 2: Data Link Layer The data link layer provides reliable transmission of data frames between adjacent nodes, built on top of a raw and unreliable bit transmission service provided by the physical layer.
To achieve this, the data link layer performs error detection and control, usually implemented with a Cyclic Redundancy Check CRC. Note that the data link layer provides reliable transmission service over a single link connecting two systems. If the two end systems that communicate are not directly connected, then their communication will go through multiple data links, each operating independently. In this case, it is the responsibility of higher layers to provide reliable end-to-end transmission.
Bridges, which connect two similar or dissimilar local area network segments, operate at this layer. Layer 3: Network Layer While the data link layer deals with the method in which the physical layer is used to transfer data, the network layer deals with organizing that data for transfer and reassembly. In short, the main function of this layer is Path determination and logical Addressing.
This layer provides logical addresses to the packets received which in turn helps them to find their path. In addition to message routing, the network may or may not implement message delivery by splitting the message into several fragments, delivering each fragment by a separate route and reassembling the fragments, report delivery errors, etc.
Although the services provided by a transport protocol are similar to those provided by a data link layer protocol, there are several important differences between the transport and lower layers: 1. Thus, the transport layer should be oriented more towards user services than simply reflect what the underlying layers happen to provide. Similar to the beautification principle in operating systems.
Negotiation of Quality and Type of Services: The user and transport protocol may need to negotiate as to the quality or type of service to be provided. A user may want to negotiate such options as: throughput, delay, protection, priority, reliability, etc. Guarantee Service: The transport layer may have to overcome service deficiencies of the lower layers e.
Addressing becomes a significant issue: That is, now the user must deal with it; before it was buried in lower levels. For what types of service does this work? While this works for services that are well established e. Use a name server. Servers register services with the name server, which clients contact to find the transport address of a given service.
In both cases, we need a mechanism for mapping high-level service names into low-level encoding that can be used within packet headers of the network protocols. In its general Form, the problem is quite complex. One simplification is to break the problem into two parts: have transport addresses be a combination of machine address and local process on that machine. Storage capacity of the subne: Assumptions valid at the data link layer do not necessarily hold at the transport Layer.
We need a dynamic flow control mechanism: The data link layer solution of reallocating buffers is inappropriate because a machine may have hundreds of connections sharing a single physical link.
In addition, appropriate settings for the flow control parameters depend on the communicating end points e. PCs , not on the protocol used. In the data link case, the line is not being used for anything else; thus retransmissions are inexpensive.
At the transport level, end-to-end retransmissions are needed, which wastes resources by sending the same packet over the same links multiple times. If the receiver has no buffer space, the sender should be prevented from sending data. Deal with congestion control: In connectionless Internets, transport protocols must exercise congestion control.
When the network becomes congested, they must reduce rate at which they insert packets into the subnet, because the subnet has no way to prevent itself from becoming overloaded. Connection establishment: Transport level protocols go through three phases: establishing, using, and terminating a connection. For data gram-oriented protocols, opening a connection simply allocates and initializes data structures in the operating system kernel. Connection oriented protocols often exchanges messages that negotiate options with the remote peer at the time a connection are opened.
Establishing a connection may be tricky because of the possibility of old or duplicate packets. For instance, both ends of the connection must be sure that all the data in their queues have been delivered to the remote application.
Layer 5: Session Layer The session layer permits two parties to hold ongoing communications called a session across a network. The applications on either end of the session can exchange data or send packets to another for as long as the session lasts. The session layer handles session setup, data or message exchanges, and tears down when the session ends. It also monitors session identification so only designated parties can participate and security services to control access to session information.
A session can be used to allow a user to log into a remote time-sharing system or transfer a file between two machines. The session layer has the option of providing one-or-two-way communication called dialogue control. Sessions can allow traffic to go in both directions at the same time, or in only one direction at a time. Token management may be used to prevent both sides from attempting the same operation at the same time. To manage these activities, the session layer provides tokens that can be exchanged.
Only the side holding the token is permitted to perform the critical operation. Another session service is synchronization. Consider the problems that occur when transferring a file between two machines and the system crashes not being able to complete the transfer.
