In computer science, the concept of network layers is a framework that helps to understand complex network interactions. There are two models that are widely referenced today: OSI and TCP/IP. The concepts are similar, but the layers themselves differ between the two models. What are the ...
People have come up with tons of mnemonic devices to memorize the OSI network layers. One popular mnemonic, starting with Layer 7, is “All People Seem To Need Data Processing.” But one that I’m partial to, which starts with Layer 1, is “Please Do Not Throw Sausage Pizza Away.” T...
Ethernet is used in the OSI model at the data link and physical layers. It formed the basis for the IEEE 802.3 Standard. This standard helped to unify network and hardware development.Ethernet is a continually evolving standard, and the original version supported a data transmission rate of ...
The data link layer is the second layer in the OSI reference model, located between the physical layer and network layer. The data link layer obtains service from the physical layer and provides service for the network layer. The basic service that the data link layer provides is to reliably...
layers forming astack. Each layer in the stack is performed in a step-by-step manner: first, moving up the stack during data transmissions and then from the top of the stack down once the data reaches its destination. The layers of the OSI model, including the network layer, are shown ...

X.25 Protocol Layers As shown in Figure 8-3, the X.25 protocol stack includes the packet layer, data link layer, and physical layer. The three layers correspond to the network layer, data link layer, and physical layer of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) reference model respec...
(subnets), the concepts of segmentation—the containment of certain network activities—can be implemented at essentially any layer of the OSI model, often to great effect. For example, by limiting sessions and applications at OSI Layers 4–7 instead of Layers 2–3, it becomes possible to ...
Networks contain layers, as represented by theOpen Systems Interconnection (OSI) model. Data passes through these layers as it travels among devices, and different cyber threats target different layers. Therefore, each layer in the stack must be secured for the network to be considered secure. ...
Their architecture, called the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) architecture and illustrated in Figure 1.13, defines a partitioning of network functionality into seven layers, where one or more protocols implement the functionality assigned to a given layer. In this sense, the schematic given is ...
