OSI Model

Computers · OSI मॉडल

📋Quick Overview

The OSI (Open Systems Interconnection) Model is a 7-layer framework for understanding network communication. Developed by ISO in 1984. Each layer performs a specific function — from physical transmission (Layer 1) to application services (Layer 7). The TCP/IP model is a simpler 4-layer practical model used on the internet.

7 OSI Layers (bottom to top): Physical, Data Link, Network, Transport, Session, Presentation, Application

TCP/IP has 4 layers: Network Access, Internet, Transport, Application
