Assignment 1: Data Transmission Sai Ram Bharadwaj Godasi 1. Describe the main functions of each layer in the OSI model? (10 points) Ans. The main functions of each layer in the OSI model are: Application Layer. The network services, made available by this layer, are utilized by users and application programs. It basically acts as a window between network services and users & application processes. This layer also handles functions like - Resource sharing and device redirection, Remote file access, Remote printer access, Inter – process communication, Network management, Directory services, Electronic messaging and Network virtual terminals. Presentation Layer. Identification of the data format, providing data interfaces and data compression and translation of data format to be presentable to the user are the functions performed in this layer. It acts as a translator for the network by translating application layer data format to common format at the sending station and back to application layer format at the receiving station. This layer also provides: Character code translation, Data encryption (to secure the information). Session Layer. Initiation, maintenance and termination of logical sessions between sender and receiver are handled in this layer. Initiation of session is done at the sender’s end and termination is handled at the receiver’s end. This layer also provides session support – performs functions that enable the processes to communicate over
Layer 5: Session - Layer 5 establishes, maintains and ends communication with the receiving device.
The fifth layer is the session layer this establishes a connection,this layer makes and sets up the connection using co ordinates and could terminate conversations links. the session layer produces services that make authentication after an interruption and not only that but it can reconnect.and as well as the transporting layer it can also have the TCP and the UDP can provide services for all most all applications.An application layer is an abstraction layer that specifies the shared protocols and interface methods used by hosts in a communications network. The application layer abstraction is used in both of the standard models of computer networking; the Internet Protocol Suite (TCP/IP) and the Open Systems Interconnection model (OSI model).Although both models use the same term for their respective highest level layer, the detailed definitions and purposes are different.In TCP/IP, the application layer contains the communications protocols and interface methods used in process-to-process communications
• “Application - The Application Layer is the layer that most network users are exposed to, and is the level at which human communication happens. HTTP, FTP, and SMTP are examples of the application layer protocols the Patton-Fuller will now be utilizing for communicating electronically” (Network Design, 2012).
The OSI (Open System Interconnection) model is a set of specifications that allow computers around the world to openly communicate. It is pivotal to understanding and developing computer to computer communications in a network. Each layer plays a role in the process of sending and receiving data. The application layer is the top layer (layer seven) it promotes communication between programs and lower-layer network services. The services at this layer allow the network to decipher a program's request and the program to decipher data sent from the network. The Application layer protocols, programs handles formatting, procedure, security, synchronization, and any other requirements with the network. The Presentation Layer (layer 6) acts as a translator. For instance these protocols decode the jpg/jpeg files sent within the Web server’s HTTP response. So, in the last step (the Application layer) we enter the Web address and it took us to the Web site. This step allows us to see the images and content of the site. The Session Layer (layer 5) regulates and controls the communication between two nodes on the network. It is an ongoing exchange of data between the two and keeps the connection between them for the duration. It keeps the communication secure, detects whether or not the communication has been cut off and if it has it determines where to restart the
Module 1 establishes the framework of networking standards and protocols for the rest of the class. The module introduces data communications and defines their components and the types of data exchanged. You will learn how different types of data are represented and how data is flowed through the network.
The physical machines fundamental transport layer that host the GemFire and client applications and provide distribution of data between machines.
The Application layer within the OSI reference model is where the application and the user communicates. In other words, the application layer is the ending of data that is transferred in visual form to the user. This layer provides the interface between the applications we use to communicate and the underlying network over which our messages are transmitted. The Application Layer functions are to provide the interface for application-specific protocols commonly used such as HyperText Transfer (HTTP), file transfer (FTP), Simple mail transfer (SMTP), Internet message Access (IMAP),
A communications protocol characterizes the guidelines for sending pieces of information starting with one hub in a system then onto the next hub. Conventions are regularly characterized in a layered way and give all or part of the administrations indicated by a layer of the OSI reference show. A convention characterizes the operation of the convention and may likewise propose how the convention ought to be actualized. It comprises of three sections:
It transmits mouse and keyboard actions from one computer to another to allow technical support personnel to operate server, desktop or other device via network as it is more efficient than to guide users through the whole procedure over the phone or to have the technical support personnel to be physically at the workstation.
In general, on the internet, every packet follows 5 layers of structures (Application, Transport, Network, Data Link, and Physical). Since I have to talk about Connection-Oriented and Connectionless as a service, I will focus on the Transport layer because they are part of this layer. It allows multiple applications to use one network connection simultaneously, the layer will create ports on your computer allowing them to be reserved and used by the Application layer. Let's say that port 3600 will be used to send a message to port 80 of some other computer, whenever the port is ready to send a message, it passed on to Transport layer. In this layer, it wraps the message inside the Segment which contains some additional
1. R3. What are some of the possible services that a link-layer protocol can offer to the network layer? Which of these link-layer services have corresponding services in IP? In TCP?
Network protocol communications, network connections established by host computer, network routing information, information about computers
The application layer: this layer allows different applications to communicate with each other’s. In order to exchange different data over the network connection, the protocols included in this layer set up the standards such as DNS, HTTP, FTP. The data coded in this layer will be encapsulated to transport layer for further packing.
Our system will follow multiple protocols such as Telnet (Terminal emulation protocol), HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol), DNS (Domain Name System) & FTP (File Transfer Protocol). As we are going to use a telnet server as a data storage, multiple clients will be access such data/information maybe at the same time. The server relies on the lower layers to handle such a high volume of requests. A process that will be adapted on application layer services & protocol is a client/server
Transmission Path Level: This extends between network elements that assemble and disassemble the payload of a transmission system. For end-to-end communication, the payload is end-user information. For user-to-network communication, the payload may be call-control signaling information (call setup and call termination). Cell delineation and header error-control functions are required at the end points of each transmission path.
