THE ISO - OSI MODEL

Established in 1947, the International Standards

Organization (ISO) is a multinational body
dedicated to worldwide agreement on international
standards. An ISO standard that covers all aspects
of network communications is the Open Systems
Interconnection (OSI) model. It was first introduced
in the late 1970s.

 Layered Architecture
• Networks are organized as
layers or levels. OSI Protocols
• Reduces design complexity.
• Each network architecture has Application
different: Presentation
- number of layers
Session
- names of layers
- functions of each layer Transport
• Between adjacent layers there Network
is an interface.
Data
• Reference models exist to
architect a network. Physical

 Protocols
• Rules and conventions used by two communicating
entities are collectively known as protocol.
• Each layer of network architecture has its own
protocol.
• Two communicating entities at the same layer are
called peers.
• A list of protocols used by a system is called
protocol stack.
• A set of layers and protocols is referred to as
network architecture.

 TCP/IP PROTOCOL SUITE

The layers in the TCP/IP protocol suite do not exactly

match those in the OSI model. The original TCP/IP
protocol suite was defined as having four layers: host-
to-network, internet, transport, and application.
However, when TCP/IP is compared to OSI, we can say
that the TCP/IP protocol suite is made of five layers:
physical, data link, network, transport, and application.

Addressing schemes LLC Layer

exist at multiple layers MAC Layer

 Transport Layer Addresses

Network Layer Addresses

MAC Layer Addresses

• The addresses are stored in specifically defined

parts of the IP packet and the LAN frame.
• The consistent position of addresses is a key
factor that allows software to interpret addressing
information correctly. In other words, if we put
addresses in the wrong format, or in the wrong
place,

correctly.
 Addresses in TCP/IP

 Relationship of layers and addresses in TCP/IP

November 9, 2009 NITW/ECE/LA 36

 Example
A node with physical address 10 sends a frame to a node
with physical address 87. The two nodes are connected
by a link (bus topology LAN). As the figure shows, the
computer with physical address 10 is the sender, and the
computer with physical address 87 is the receiver.

November 9, 2009 NITW/ECE/LA 37

Most local-area networks use a 48-bit (6-byte) physical
address written as 12 hexadecimal digits; every byte (2
hexadecimal digits) is separated by a colon, as shown
below:

07:01:02:01:2C:4B

A 6-byte (12 hexadecimal digits) physical address.

November 9, 2009 NITW/ECE/LA 38

 Example

Figure next shows a part of an internet with two routers

connecting three LANs. Each device (computer or
router) has a pair of addresses (logical and physical) for
each connection. In this case, each computer is
connected to only one link and therefore has only one
pair of addresses. Each router, however, is connected to
three networks (only two are shown in the figure). So
each router has three pairs of addresses, one for each
connection.

 IP addresses

November 9, 2009 NITW/ECE/LA 40

 Example

Figure shows two computers communicating via the

Internet. The sending computer is running three
processes at this time with port addresses a, b, and c. The
receiving computer is running two processes at this time
with port addresses j and k. Process a in the sending
computer needs to communicate with process j in the
receiving computer. Note that although physical
addresses change from hop to hop, logical and port
addresses remain the same from the source to
destination.

 Port addresses

November 9, 2009 NITW/ECE/LA 42

Note

The physical addresses will change from hop to hop,

but the logical addresses usually remain the same.

A port address is a 16-bit address represented by one
decimal number as shown.
