A continuation in a series; this article will discus the seventh layer of the OSI Reference Model from a hardware perspective.
We will discuss the sixth layer, the Presentation Layer, which is the first layer concerned with transmitting data across a network at a more abstract level than just ones and zeros.
This article discusses the fifth layer of the OSI Reference Model, called the Session layer. This layer is responsible for the management of sessions between two communicating end points.
The previous articles in the series have discussed the first three layers of the OSI Reference Model. We will now discuss the fourth layer; the Transport layer.
A discussion of the third layer of the OSI reference model, focusing mostly on routers and why they are usually placed in this layer.
A discussion of the second layer of the OSI reference model from a hardware perspective.
