1). What does Application Layer mean?
The application layer is a layer in the Open Systems
Interconnection (OSI) seven-layer model and in the
TCP/IP protocol suite. It consists of protocols that focus on
process-to-process communication across an IP network
and provides a firm communication interface and end-user
services.
In My Own Words:
This layer is where the application and user
communicates
2). What does Presentation Layer mean?
The presentation layer is layer 6 of the 7-layer Open
Systems Interconnection (OSI) model. It is used to present
data to the application layer (layer 7) in an accurate, well-
defined and standardized format.
In My Own Words:
This layer is responsible for Data formatting
and Encrypt or Decrypt data if needed.
3). What does Session Layer mean?
In the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model, the
session layer is the fifth layer, which controls the
connections between multiple computers. The session
layer tracks the dialogs between computers, which are
also called sessions. This layer establishes, controls and
ends the sessions between local and remote applications.

In My Own Words:

4). What does Transport Layer mean?
The transport layer is the layer in the open system
interconnection (OSI) model responsible for end-to-end
communication over a network. It provides logical
communication between application processes running on
different hosts within a layered architecture of protocols
and other network components.
The transport layer is also responsible for the
management of error correction, providing quality and
reliability to the end user. This layer enables the host to
send and receive error corrected data, packets or
messages over a network and is the network component
that allows multiplexing. In the OSI model, the transport
layer is the fourth layer of this network structure.
In My Own Words:
Error Handling, Sequencing
Ports.
5). What does Network Layer mean?
The network layer is the third level of the Open Systems
Interconnection Model (OSI Model) and the layer that
provides data routing paths for network communication.
Data is transferred in the form of packets via logical
network paths in an ordered format controlled by the
network layer.
Logical connection setup, data forwarding, routing and
delivery error reporting are the network layer’s primary
responsibilities.
In My Own Words: This layer handles IP
Adresses and routing, The source and
destination IP Adresses are Added.
Routers Operate at this layer.

6). What does Data Link Layer mean? 7). What does Physical Layer mean?

The physical layer is the first layer of the Open System

The data link layer is used for the encoding, decoding and
logical organization of data bits. Data packets are framed Interconnection Model (OSI Model). The physical layer
