Results for area 5.1 Open systems interconnection (OSI)
reference model developed by ISO to enable different or similar systems to dialogue with one another
NOTE 1 This model constitutes a reference framework for describing data exchanges. Each layer performs a service at the request of the adjacent higher layer, and in turn, requests more basic services from the lower layers. It is described in 7 layers.
NOTE 2 Open systems interconnection (OSI) is an international effort to facilitate communications among computers of different manufacture and technology.
the conceptual layer of control or processing logic existing in the hierarchical structure of a station that is responsible for maintaining control of the data link
NOTE The data link layer functions provide an interface between the station higher layer logic and the data link. These functions include address/control field interpretation, channel access and command PDU (protocol data unit) /response PDU generation, transmission and interpretation.
layer that provides functional and procedural means of transferring variable length data sequences from a source to a destination
NOTE The network layer constitutes layer 3 of the OSI model.
layer that manages the dialogue between end-user application processes including restart, termination, and checkpointing
NOTE The session layer constitutes layer 5 of the OSI model.
top layer of the OSI seven-layer model as defined in ISO/IEC 7498-4
NOTE This layer defines the structure and format of the data packet content along with the rules and procedures for exchanging data packets.
specific combination of physical and data link layer protocols as defined in IEEE 802.3 that allow multiple systems to gain access to a shared medium and communicate with one another
