Component 9; Unit 1: ISO Open Systems Interconnection (OSI)

Component 9; Unit 1: ISO Open Systems Interconnection (OSI)

Description:

This unit will address the OSI, including the purpose and content of each of its seven layers:  physical, data link, network, transport, session, presentation, and application. Products, processes, protocols and tools at each level will be explained. This unit will also focus on the flow of data through the models as data is transmitted and receive by end devices.

Objectives:

  1. Explain the OSI representation of the various layers involved in networking, including the general functions of each layer and their interconnections
  2. Explain the concept of the Application layer
  3. Explain the concept of the Presentation layer
  4. Explain the concept of the Session Layer
  5. Explain the concept of the Transport layer
  6. Explain the concept of the Network layer
  7. Explain the concept of the Data Link layer
  8. Explain the concept of the Physical layer
  9. Explain connection-oriented versus connectionless communication
  10. Explain the use of network addressing including security considerations and vulnerabilities
