Let's start our discussion by looking at Layer 4. Layer 4: The Transport Layer As mentioned in Part 1 of this article, Layer 4 is the transport layer in the OSI model. For many people, Layer 4 is the ...

If you have anything to do with networked AV and you're not well-versed in the OSI model, we've got you covered. You will learn the fundamental ideas around getting data from host A to host B over a ...

Description The Open Systems Interconnection model (OSI model) is an important concept in telecommunications in that it provides a common description of the path that data takes in a network. Seven ...

Without a network protocol, two computing devices couldn't communicate with one another. Common network protocols include the ubiquitous TCP/IP, IPX, Microsoft's NetBEUI and AppleTalk.

The Physical Layer includes cable specs, pin-out patterns, voltages, hubs, repeaters, network cards, protocol standards (RJ45, V series modem standards) and even host bus adapters (HBA).

The OSI model defines protocols for how a network technically handles communications at the various functional layers. Starting with electrons and photons at the physical layer (Layer 1), the ...

Network security is essential at every layer of the OSI model, including the mythical eighth layer, where users interact with technology.

The 4-7 layer band in the OSI 7-layer network model covers some important tasks, such as load-balancing. But to date they have been pretty fixed – set once and reset at a fair degree of inconvenience: ...

The Data Link Layer is one of my favorite layers of the OSI Model. Like a father who loves ALL of his children equally, but in different ways, I also love the other layers, but Layer 2 will always ...

Layer 2 of the OSI model is where we find the Data Link Layer, which provides the mechanism by which data is transferred from node to node across a network.
