Term
This layer's charteristics are:
type of media used (such as cable, connector, pinout); identifies topology to be used (such as ring, mesh, star & bus); defines voltage on media & frequency at which signals that carry the data move from one state to another dictating speed, bandwidth & max distance media can be used. |

Definition
|
|
Term
| This layer is responsible for getting data to physical layer. Also responsible for error detection, error correction and hardware addressing. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| The term frame is used to describe the logical grouping of data at this layer? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| What are the 2 sublayers of the Data-link layer? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| This sublayer controls access to network media & defines the physical address |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| This sublayer is is specified in 802.2 & responsible for error and flow conrol mechanisms |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| The primary responsibility of this layer is routing. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| This layer does not specify how data is passed but rather provides the mechanisms to do so. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| Protocols at this layer are responsible for route selection |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| The term packet is used to describe the logical grouping of data at this layer. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| This layer provides mechanisms to move data between network devices |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| What are the 3 ways layer 4 uses to move data between network devices |
|
Definition
| The transport layer uses error checking, service addressing & segmentation. |
|
|
Term
| The transport layer makes sure that data is passed to the right service at the upper layers of the OSI model. What is this referred to as? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| blocks of data need to be broken down in layer 4 for the lower layers to handle. What is this process called? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| protocols that operate at this layer can be either connectionless or connection oriented |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| This layer is responsible for flow control |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| This refers to the way in which the receiving device can accept data transmissions |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| What are the 2 common methods of flow control used |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| When this is used, data is temporarily stored & waits for the destination device to become available. |
|
Definition
| transport layer buffering flow control |
|
|
Term
| In this environment, data is sent in groups of segments that require only 1 acknowledgment |
|
Definition
| Transport layer flow control windowing |
|
|
Term
| This layer is responsible for managing & controlling the synchronization of data between applications on 2 devices |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| This layer establishes, maintains and breaks sessions |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| The transport layer is responsible for setting up & maintaining connections on between 2 nodes, this layer performs the same function on behalf of the application |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| The basic function of this layer is to convert the data intended for or received from the application layer into another format. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| commmon data formats converted by this layer include graphics files, text & data. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| This layer handles encryption and decryption |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| this layer takes requests and data from users and pass them on. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| some basic services of this layer include file & print |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| This layer defines the physical structure of the network and the topology. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| This layer provies error detection and correction. Uses 2 sub layers. Identifies methods by which media is accessed. Defines hardware addressing |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| This layer handles discovery of destination systems and addressing. Provides mechanism by which data can be passed from one network system to another. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| This layer provides connection services between the sending and receiving devices and ensures reliable data delivery. Manages flow control through buffering or windowing. Provides segmentation, error checking and service identification. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| This layer synchronizes the data exchange between applications on separate devices |
|
Definition
|
