Tentxa layer network (DATA LINK Layer - OSI Model)

DATA LINK Layer - OSI Model

Data link layer is most reliable node to node delivery of data. It forms frames from the packets that are received from network layer and gives it to physical layer. It also synchronizes the information which is to be transmitted over the data. Error controlling is easily done. The encoded data are then passed to physical.
Error detection bits are used by the data link layer. It also corrects the errors. Outgoing messages are assembled into frames. Then the system waits for the acknowledgements to be received after the transmission. It is reliable to send message.

FUNCTIONS OF DATA LINK LAYER:

  1. Framing: Frames are the streams of bits received from the network layer into manageable data units. This division of stream of bits is done by Data Link Layer.
  2. Physical Addressing: The Data Link layer adds a header to the frame in order to define physical address of the sender or receiver of the frame, if the frames are to be distributed to different systems on the network.
  3. Flow Control: A flow control mechanism to avoid a fast transmitter from running a slow receiver by buffering the extra bit is provided by flow control. This prevents traffic jam at the receiver side.
  4. Error Control: Error control is achieved by adding a trailer at the end of the frame. Duplication of frames are also prevented by using this mechanism. Data Link Layers adds mechanism to prevent duplication of frames.
  5. Access Control: Protocols of this layer determine which of the devices has control over the link at any given time, when two or more devices are connected to the same link.

Tentxa layer Network ( Connection Oriented and Connectionless Services )

Connection Oriented and Connectionless Services These are the two services given by the layers to layers above them. These services are : Connection Oriented Service Connectionless Services Connection Oriented Services There is a sequence of operation to be followed by the users of connection oriented service. These are : Connection is established Information is sent Connection is released In connection oriented service we have to establish a connection before starting the communication. When connection is established we send the message or the information and then we release the connection. Connection oriented service is more reliable than connectionless service. We can send the message in connection oriented service if there is an error at the receivers end. Example of connection oriented is TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) protocol. Connection Less Services It is similar to the postal services, as it carries the full address where the message (letter) i...

Tentxa Layer Network ( Comparison of OSI Reference Model and TCP/IP Reference Model )

Comparison of OSI Reference Model and TCP/IP Reference Model Following are some major differences between OSI Reference Model and TCP/IP Reference Model, with diagrammatic comparison below. OSI(Open System Interconnection) TCP/IP(Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol) 1. OSI is a generic, protocol independent standard, acting as a communication gateway between the network and end user. 1. TCP/IP model is based on standard protocols around which the Internet has developed. It is a communication protocol, which allows connection of hosts over a network. 2. In OSI model the transport layer guarantees the delivery of packets. 2. In TCP/IP model the transport layer does not guarantees delivery of packets. Still the TCP/IP model is more reliable. 3. Follows vertical approach. 3. Follows horizontal approach. 4. OSI model has a separate Presentation layer and Session layer. 4. TCP/IP does not have a separate Presentation layer or Session layer. 5. OSI is a reference mode...
