Breaking Down the OSI Model: A Beginners Guide to Network Architecture
The OSI (Open Systems Interconnection) model is a conceptual framework used to describe how data is transmitted over a network. The OSI model consists of seven layers, each responsible for a specific aspect of network communication. The layers are designed to work together to ensure that data is transmitted accurately and efficiently. Understanding the OSI model is important for beginners in the field of network architecture because it provides a common language and reference point for discussing and troubleshooting network issues. By breaking down network communication into seven distinct layers, the OSI model makes it easier to understand how different parts of a network interact with each other. ...
