Got questions? We've got the answers quick, clear, and hassle-free as per mentioned FAQ

FAQ Execution

🔹 What is the function of the Physical layer ?

transmits raw bits over a physical medium.

🔹 What is the role of the Data Link layer ?

Provides MAC addressing and error detection.

🔹 What does the Network layer do ?

Handles logical addressing and routing (IP's)

🔹 What is the purpose of the Transport layer ?

Ensures reliable data transfer (TCP/UDP). Mean that Host-to-host Communication

🔹 What does the Session layer do ?

Manages sessions between applications.

🔹 What is the Presentation layer responsible for ?

Encryption, compression and data formatting.

🔹 What does the Application layer do ?

Provides services to end-user applications (HTTP, FTP).

🔹Why is OSI important ?

It helps in understanding and troubleshooting networks. In otherword, Could be communicate with different brand.

🔹 What is encapsulation in OSI ?

Process of adding headers at each layer.

🔹 What is PDU in OSI ?

Protocol Data Unit (Data, Segment, Packet, Frame, Bits).

🔹 What is TCP/IP Model ?

A practical networking model used on the Internet.

🔹 How many layers are in TCP/IP and who deployed ?

4 Layer and Developed by DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency).

🔹 What is the Internet layer responsible for ?

Logical addressing and routing (IP).

🔹 Which protocols work at Transport layer ?

TCP and UDP.

🔹 What protocols work at Application layer ?

HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, SMTP, DNS.

🔹 Is TCP/IP used on the Internet ?

Yes, it is the foundation of the Internet.

🔹 Why is TCP/IP widely adopted ?

Because it was implemented before OSI.

🔹 How to describe the both model ?

OSI model is conceptual and TCP/IP model is practical.

🔹 Is OSI protocol-dependent ?

No, it is protocol-independent.

🔹 Is TCP/IP protocol-dependent ?

Yes, based on specific protocols.

🔹 Which model is better for troubleshooting ?

OSI (because of detailed layers).

🔹 Which model is used in real networking devices ?

TCP/IP.

🔹 Does OSI define specific protocols ?

No.


🔹 Does TCP/IP define protocols ?

Yes, (IP, TCP, UDP).

🔹 Why do we study OSI if TCP/IP is used ?

Because OSI helps understand networking concepts clearly.
