Introduction The transport layer is the 4th layer of the OSI model. This layer lies in between the Network layer and the Session layer. Features This layer acts as an interface between the bottom and top three layers. The lower data link layer (layer 2) is only responsible for delivering Read more…
Introduction of OSI Network Layer The network layer is the 3rd layer of the OSI model from the bottom side(Physical Layer). This layer lies in between the Data link layer and the Transport layer. Characteristics of OSI Network Layer The unit of data at the network layer is popularly called Data Read more…
Introduction This is the 2nd layer of the hierarchical OSI model. This layer lies in between the physical layer and the network layer. This is considered as the Lower layer of the OSI model. Features The Data Link Layer performs its functions in the LAN area mainly. The main network Read more…
Introduction The physical layer is the lowest layer/Layer 1 of the OSI model. Features The data units in this layer are called Signals(analog or digital) of Bits. The main network devices used/found in the Physical layer are a Repeater and Hub i.e., this layer does not work with devices having Read more…
