  2. OSI model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OSI_model

    The model allows transparent communication through equivalent exchange of protocol data units (PDUs) between two parties, through what is known as peer-to-peer networking (also known as peer-to-peer communication). As a result, the OSI reference model has not only become an important piece among professionals and non-professionals alike, but ...

  3. Logical link control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logical_link_control

    In the IEEE 802 reference model of computer networking, the logical link control (LLC) data communication protocol layer is the upper sublayer of the data link layer (layer 2) of the seven-layer OSI model. The LLC sublayer acts as an interface between the medium access control (MAC) sublayer and the network layer.

  4. List of network protocols (OSI model) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_network_protocols...

    This layer, presentation Layer and application layer are combined in TCP/IP model. 9P Distributed file system protocol developed originally as part of Plan 9; ADSP AppleTalk Data Stream Protocol; ASP AppleTalk Session Protocol; H.245 Call Control Protocol for Multimedia Communications; iSNS Internet Storage Name Service

  5. Node-to-node data transfer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Node-to-node_data_transfer

    In telecommunications, node-to-node data transfer [1] is the movement of data from one node of a network to the next. In the OSI model it is handled by the lowest two layers, the data link layer and the physical layer. In most communication systems, the transmitting point applies source coding, [2] followed by channel coding, and lastly, line ...

  6. Network packet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_packet

    In the seven-layer OSI model of computer networking, packet strictly refers to a protocol data unit at layer 3, the network layer. [2] A data unit at layer 2, the data link layer, is a frame. In layer 4, the transport layer, the data units are segments and datagrams. Thus, in the example of TCP/IP communication over Ethernet, a TCP segment is ...

  7. Internet protocol suite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_protocol_suite

    Early versions of this networking model were known as the Department of Defense (DoD) model because the research and development were funded by the United States Department of Defense through DARPA. The Internet protocol suite provides end-to-end data communication specifying how data should be packetized, addressed, transmitted, routed , and ...

  8. Packet switching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Packet_switching

    Data in the header is used by networking hardware to direct the packet to its destination, where the payload is extracted and used by an operating system, application software, or higher layer protocols. Packet switching is the primary basis for data communications in computer networks worldwide.

  9. Presentation layer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presentation_layer

    In the seven-layer OSI model of computer networking, the presentation layer is layer 6 and serves as the data translator for the network. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ] It is sometimes called the syntax layer. [ 5 ]
