OSI Model stand for Open System Interconnection. It has been developed by
International Organization of Standardization, in the year 1984. It is a
7 layers architecture with each layer having specific functionality to
perform all there 7 layers work collaboratively to transmit the data form one
person another across the globe.
responsible for the actual physical connection between the devices. The
The physical layer contains information in the form of bits.

2.Data Link Layer- The data link layer is responsible for the node to node
2.Data Link Layer- The data link layer is responsible for the node to node
delivery of the massage. The main function of this layer is to make sure
data transfer is error free from one node to another over the
physical layer.
3.Network Layer- The network layer is responsible for packet forwarding including routing through intermediate routers.
4.Transpor Layer- The transport layer segment and reassembles data into a data
stream. Services looked in the Transport layer segment and form upper-
layer application and unite it onto the same data stream.
5.Session Layer- The session layer is responsible for setting up, managing and
then tearing down session between Presentation- layer entities. The layer
also provide dialogue control between device, or node.
6.Presentation Layer- Presentation layer is also called the Translation Layer. The data from the Application layer is extracted here and manipulated as par the required format to transmit over the network.
7.Application Layer- At the very top of OSI reference model stack of layer, we find Application Layer which is implemented by the network Application. These application produces the data, which has to be transferred over the network. This layer also server as a window for application services to access the network and displaying the received information to the user. Ex- Application, Browsers, Skype, Messenger, etc. Application layer is also called desktop layer.
