Layers of ISO Model

Layers of ISO Model

OSI layers it is a layered architecture, which defined the network standard given by the ISO and therefore OSI layers has standardized level of service & type of interaction for computer exchanging information through a communication network.

ISO: International Standard Organisation

IOS : International Organisation for Standardization

OSI: Open System Interconnects

However, the OSI models separates computer to computer communication into several protocol layer ‘s and the highest one is application layer & the lowest is Physical layer.

Advantages

  1. It divides the N/W communication process into smaller and simpler components, thus easy to design, develop & trouble shoot.
  2. It allows multiple vendors development through standards and therefore it allows different manufactures hardware & N/W components to communicate.
  3. Therefore it prevents changes in one layer, affecting the other layer.

ISO Layers

  1. APPLICATION         LAYER
  2. PRESENTATION     LAYER
  3. SESSION                  LAYER
  4. TRANSPORT            LAYER
  5. NETWORK              LAYER
  6. DATA LINK            LAYER
  7. PHYSICAL              LAYER

NOTE: Different Protocol used in all layers

1) Application Layer

The application layer is the 7th layer and it serves as an abstraction layer that specifies the shared communications protocols and interface methods used by hosts in a communications network and the application layer abstraction is used in both of the standard models of computer networking and the OSI model and this layer is responsible for file, folder, printing ,messaging data and other application services.

2) Presentation Layer

The presentation layer is the 6th layer and serves as the data translator for the network and It is also called the syntax layer and this layer is responsible for data translating and code formatting and therefore it provides coding & conversion function and the tasks like data compression, decompression , encryption , decryption , or associated with this layer and the code conversion are EBCDIC (EXTENDED BINARY CODE DECIMAL INTENDED CODE) and ASCII (AMERICAN STANDARD CODE FOR INFORMATION INTERCHANGE).

3) Session Layer

The Session Layer is the 5th layer and it provides the mechanism for opening, closing and managing a session between end-user application processes and this layer is responsible for setting up (or) start , managing & terminating the session therefore it co-ordinate communication between system and server to organize their communication.

4) Transport layer

The Transport layer is 4th layer and this layer is responsible for segmenting and unites them on to the data stream and therefore it provide end to end data services and can establish logical connection between the sending host & destination host and they provide reliable or unreliable delivery performs error correction before transmitting (It divides the segment).

5) Network Layer

The Network Layer is a 3rd layer and this layer is responsible for managing N/W devices (Router) and therefore it tracks the location of devices and determines the best path to develop the routing information table and the two types of packets are used they are Data and Root Update.

6) Data Link Layer

The Data Link Layer is the 2nd layer and this layer is the protocol layer that transfers data between nodes on a network segment across the physical layer and this layer is responsible for coding, addressing, transmitting information and framing and therefore it formats the massage into pieces called as a data frames and such as Switches & Bridges work in this layer.

7) Physical Layer

The Physical Layer is the 1st layer and this layer is responsible for sending & receiving the bits (0,1) and therefore it specifies electrical mechanical & functional requirements for activating maintaining physical links between systems and it interfaces DTE & DCE for communication and such as Modem, Hub, Repeater works in this layer.

Printer

What is Printer? Another widely used output device is a printer and it is a computer peripheral device. A printer produces a hard copy of a processed text or a result. A hard copy refers to a permanent human-readable text or graphics taken on physical print media such as paper or transparency. A printer will use toner to provide a quality print on paper, a toner is a replaceable material. Once the toner gets empty we can refill it and reuse it.  Most of the printers are used for commercial purposes such as private offices, industries, government offices, photo studios, etc,. Most of the printers are used to print emails, documents, files, images, color photos, color documents, color posts, banners, advertisement posters, etc,. There are the following 5 types of printers such as dot matrix printer, inkjet printer, laser printer, dye-sublimation printer, and plotter printer this are all the printer which uses nowadays for a printing purpose. A printer is characterized by the followin...

Dot Matrix Printer

What is Dot Matrix Printer? A dot matrix printer or impact matrix printer refers to a type of computer printers with a print head that contains a cluster of pins. The pins run back and front on the page and print by impact with striking an ink-soaked cloth ribbon against a paper similar to a typewriter. The Dot-matrix printers can print at a speed of 500 cps. Therefore a low-resolution dot matrix printers use 9 pins and a high-resolution dot matrix printer uses 24 pins. Then the low-resolution dot matrix is use to apply ink on the surface for layout.  In this a printer is able to print different patterns but not only the specific characters. Then a Dot-matrix printers are work as a non-impact method such as laser printers or inkjet printers where they also use the same process for printing. In this each dots produce by a wire or pin which is a tiny metal rod. The tiny electromagnet give the power to move forward directly small levers and a ribbon mask holder which facing the papers...

OMR Scanner

What is OMR Scanner? The OMR scanner puts a shining beam of light on the document and detects the marked area from unmarked ones. This is possible because a marked area reflects more light in comparison to an unmarked area. An Optical Mark Recognition technique is use when students have appeared for objective type tests and they had to mark their answer by darkening a square or circular space by pencil. These answer sheets are directly fed to a computer for grading where OMR is use. Then users create their own forms in a word processor by using desktop OMR software and print it by a laser printer. The process of desktop OMR software is to work with an image scanner with the help of a document feeder which produces forms once filled out. For adding marks on OMR sheets a folder inserter equipment is use. In the sequence of black dashes in sheets the marks are added and the folder inserter equipment scans in order to determine and the usage area of OMR sheets are, It normally used for con...
