Understanding OSI Model

The video tutorial provides a comprehensive overview of the Open System Interconnection (OSI) model, detailing its seven layers: application, presentation, session, transport, network, data link, and physical. It explains the function and interaction of each layer, emphasizing the importance of modularity and reduced complexity in network communication. The tutorial also compares the OSI model with the TCP/IP model, highlighting their similarities and differences in handling data transmission.

What is the primary purpose of the OSI model?

• To establish a single protocol for all networks

• To provide a reference for network communication

• To replace the TCP/IP model

• To define a set of networking protocols

Which layer of the OSI model is responsible for data formatting?

• Application Layer

• Transport Layer

• Presentation Layer

• Session Layer

What is the main function of the Transport Layer in the OSI model?

• Physical data transmission

• Session management

• Data multiplexing and sequencing

• Data formatting

Which layer of the OSI model is responsible for routing data between networks?

• Session Layer

• Transport Layer

• Network Layer

• Data Link Layer

Which OSI layer is responsible for establishing, managing, and terminating sessions?

• Application Layer

• Transport Layer

• Presentation Layer

• Session Layer

In the OSI model, which layer deals with the physical connection between devices?

• Data Link Layer

• Network Layer

• Transport Layer

• Physical Layer

What is the function of the Network Layer in the OSI model?

• Data compression

• Data encryption

• Data routing and addressing

• Session management

How does the OSI model help in reducing network complexity?

• By combining all functions into a single layer

• By using a single protocol for all layers

• By eliminating the need for network protocols

• By dividing network functions into separate layers

What is the role of data encapsulation in the OSI model?

• To compress data for faster transmission

• To encrypt data for security

• To package data with headers and trailers

• To convert data into binary format

What is a key difference between the OSI and TCP/IP models?

• TCP/IP does not support data encapsulation

• OSI is used only for wireless networks

• TCP/IP is more complex than OSI

• OSI has more layers than TCP/IP
