OSI MODEL

is just a logical model for how network systems are supposed to communicate to each other, so
basicallly the OSI Model is seven logical layers that allows you think about a networking problem
and then the way how to try to find the fix the problem, if you understand how these layers
works its easier to focus on what is the individual problem in a network infraestructure.

THe OSI model is made up for seven layers the layer from top to bottom are what is closest to
the end users so what the user is interacting with all the way down to actually shooting the
information out the network so the first layer the top layer layer 7 is called the application layer,

this is the layer that the user is actually interacting with things like the browsers how firefox or
internet explorer, if you are going onto a website the application layer a for that whole
communication with the website is firefox, internet explorer ,chrome or safari so this is the layer
that the user actually with the information an example if you are doing an email the application
layer would be the actual outlook website or outlook application.

Underneath that is what is called the presentation layer,

First i want explain how computers work the lenguage that understands the computers are the
bits a bit is the smallest unity to information that exist and this is simple a bit could be on or off,
if the bit is on it is represented by a 1 and if the bit is off it is represented by a 0, so when we
write something on the presentation layer it sends the information to the presentation layer and
this information is in a human lenguage what the presentation layer does is translate the letters,
numbers or simbols to the bit lenguaje.

underneath the presentation layer we have what is called the session layer the session layer is
the layer that deals with the communication creating a session between two computers so if you
are going to a website basically your computer has to create a session with the web server that
you are trying to access to get the information that you need.

Underneath the session layer we have what is called the transport layer, the transport layer is
the layer that decides how much information should be sent at one time or how much
information should be received at one time.

SUppose that we have a block of information and the transport layer makes this information
smaller cutting it in many parts and sent it at the network.

now lets continue with the network layer the network layer is the layer that routers operate, i
think that everyone have a router in home.

underneath that we have the data link layer is the layer that the switches operate on, every
computer into the network is plugged into a switch and this is the way wich a computer can
communicated with other computer into the same network.

and the final layer is the physical layer, the physical layer is literally all the physical stuff that
connects the computers together this includes the wired, the cabling etc.
