Layer 2 of the OSI model is where we find the Data Link Layer, which provides the mechanism by which data is transferred from node to node across a network. What makes this layer important is that ...

In this two-part series, we'll provide a different view of the OSI model, showing how the layers are interconnected and what protocol services are available at each level. In Part 1, we'll provide a ...

The OSI model defines protocols for how a network technically handles communications at the various functional layers. Starting with electrons and photons at the physical layer (Layer 1), the ...

The OSI model is supported by the majority of major network and computer vendors, large commercial entities, and governments. This makes it very attractive as the model for locking down the devices ...

Open System Interconnection, a layered model for network transport and applications. For instance, the seventh layer in the OSI model—the Application layer—defines program to program communication, or ...

If you have anything to do with networked AV and you're not well-versed in the OSI model, we've got you covered. You will learn the fundamental ideas around getting data from host A to host B over a ...

As cybersecurity threats grow more sophisticated, traditional network architectures struggle to keep pace, especially in sectors reliant on legacy hardware. IMPRES Technology Solutions has introduced ...

To understand network communications, it is essential to learn about the protocol layers (see OSI model).
