Multi-layer Network Models
The process of transferring a message between sender and receiver is more easily implemented by breaking it down into simpler components.Instead of a single layer, a group of layers are used, dividing up the tasks required for network communications.The best known network model is the OSI models.

The OSI Networking Reference Model
OSI= Open Systems Interconnect. Created by the International Standards Organization (ISO) in 1984 as a network standards framework.The model’s seven layers from high to low are:
7. Application 6. Presentation 5. Session 4. Transport 3. Network 2. Data Link 1. Physical
![Page 5: Layered Communication Building Blocks: Hardware Layers in LAN.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081513/5697bf831a28abf838c86719/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Application Layers
The application layers are the user’s connection to the network and include the application software and other software used to connect the application to the network: 7. Application: provides a set of utilities
used by application programs. 6. Presentation: formats data for
presentation to the user, provides data interfaces, data compression and translation between different data formats.
5. Session: responsible for initiating, maintaining and terminating each logical session between sender and receiver.
![Page 6: Layered Communication Building Blocks: Hardware Layers in LAN.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081513/5697bf831a28abf838c86719/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Internetwork Layers
The internetwork layers connect applications to the network and as well as determine the best route for sending messages between sender and receiver. 4. Transport: deals with end-to-end
issues such as segmenting the message for network transport, and maintaining the logical connections between sender and receiver.
3. Network: responsible for making routing decisions.
![Page 7: Layered Communication Building Blocks: Hardware Layers in LAN.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081513/5697bf831a28abf838c86719/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Hardware Layers
The hardware layers move messages from one computer or device to another. 2. Data Link: deals with message
delineation, error control and network medium access control.
1. Physical: defines how individual bits are formatted to be transmitted through the network.

How the layers fit together in practice
![Page 9: Layered Communication Building Blocks: Hardware Layers in LAN.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081513/5697bf831a28abf838c86719/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Message Transmission Using Layers
Network model layers use protocols, i.e., sets of rules to define how to communicate at each layer and how to interface with adjacent layers.Generally, outgoing messages travel down all network layers.Before sending a message to the next layer, each layer places it in an envelope of overhead information related to that layer (encapsulation).At the receiving end, messages travels up through the network layers, each layer removing the envelopes added when the message was sent.

Why Standards?
Standards provide a fixed way for hardware and/or software systems to communicate.For example, USB enables two pieces of equipment to interface even though they are manufactured by different companies.By allowing hardware and software from different companies to interconnect, standards help promote competition.

Topology
Topology refers to the geometric layout of the network.A logical topology is how the network works conceptuallyPhysical topology refers to how the network is physically connected.

Topology
Topology determines type of equipment to purchase and how to manage networkWhen designing a network, you must understand different topologiesConsider growth and security requirementsGood design grows and adapts as needs change

Standard Topologies
Today’s network designs are based on three topologies: Bus consists of series of computers
connected along a single cable segment Ring connects computers to form a
loop Star connects computers via central
connection point

Network Interface Cards
Network interface cards, also called network adapters NICs are part of both the physical and data link layer and include a unique data link layer address (MAC address), placed in them by their manufacturer.Before sending data onto the network, the network card also organizes data into frames and then sends them out on the network. Notebook computers often use NICs that are plugged into the PCMCIA port.

Note: Gigabit Ethernet uses parallel transmission

Cables
Each computer is physically connected to the network using a cable.The cables used on Ethernet LANs are either twisted-pair or optical fiber cables.Data can flow through cables in one of three modes: One way only (simplex) Both ways, one way at a time (half-duplex) Both ways at the same time (full-duplex)
![Page 34: Layered Communication Building Blocks: Hardware Layers in LAN.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081513/5697bf831a28abf838c86719/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

Twisted-Pair Cable
TP is two or more pairs of insulated copper wires twisted around each other Improves resistance to interference Limits crosstalk (EMI generated by wire
pairs) The more twists, the better
Two primary types of TP cable Unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) Shielded twisted pair (STP)

Ethernet Standards
Standardization
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (IEEE)
802 LAN/MAN Standards Committee (802 Committee) creates LAN standards
802.3 Working Group creates Ethernet standards
So Ethernet standards are also known as 802.3 standards.

Fiber-Optic Cable
Each core passes signals in only one directionMost fiber-optic cable has two strands in separate cladding May be enclosed within single sheath or
jacket or may be separate cables
More difficult to install and more expensive than copper media

Fiber-Optic Cables
Two primary types: Single-mode cables: cost more; span
longer distances; work with laser-based emitters
Multimode cables: cost less; span shorter distances; work with light-emitting diodes (LEDs)
Used for network backbone connections and with long-haul communications carrying large amounts of voice and data traffic
