Animated Explanation of the OSI Model: Understanding the 7 Layers of Networking

The OSI model describes **how a data transfers over the network from one computer to the other** and the way that the systems send information to one another. In order to accomplish successful communication between computers, there are 7 distinct layers which are interconnected and which work closely to make the communication happen, that is why it is called the open system interconnection model or the OSI seven layer model or open system. The purpose of this model is to enable functionality and interoperability between different vendors and connectors. From a design point of view, it divides larger tasks into smaller, more manageable ones. The seven Layers of OSI model are Layer 1 - Physical Layer Layer 2 - Data Link Layer Layer 3 - Network Layer Layer 4- Transport Layer Layer 5- Session Layer Layer 6 - Presentation Layer Layer 7 - Application Layer #osimodel #tcp #osi #networklayer
