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 ...

Layered Protocols Internet hosts communicate by using a special software mechanism called layers (or layered protocols). The OSI Model has seven layers, and TCP/IP has four.

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 ...

The Physical Layer includes cable specs, pin-out patterns, voltages, hubs, repeaters, network cards, protocol standards (RJ45, V series modem standards) and even host bus adapters (HBA).

“The software layer we call the ‘red diamond’—that’s how it’s illustrated in diagrams showing its position in the OSI stack.” The result is a deny-by-default security model that inherently resists man ...

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