Protocol Layers and Service Models n Computer network architecture is complex Too many components n How to understand its architecture? n How to allow developers and users to deal with this complexity? Solution n Computer networks functions are designed and implemented as layers n Layers are logical groupings of all the processes required for effective data exchange n Layer n-1 provides some service to the layer n through a welldefined interface (boundary between each two layers) n Each interface defines what information, operations, and services a layer must provide for the layer above it. n These layers are distributed across all nodes in the network n n Term 081 Chapter-2 -2 CS 331 - Fakhry Khellah

Layers, protocols, and interfaces. Term 081 Chapter-2 -3 CS 331 - Fakhry Khellah

Network Entities and Layers n n Layers are distributed across all entities in the network Important entities include hosts(PCs) and packet switches (hubs, switches/bridges, routers) Some devices do not use all layers. Complexity of an entity increases with the number of layers that it supports Term 081 Chapter-2 -4 CS 331 - Fakhry Khellah

Advantages of Layered Architecture n n n Breaks the complicated communication process into layers of simpler processes which allows easier hardware or software implementation Each layer implements distinct set of protocols (functions) which means that : n The implementation of each layer can be done independently of the other layers. n This allows different manufacturers to supply the hardware and software needed to the different layers encourages collaboration & Competition Well-defined layers interfaces allow changing the implementation of one layer with a completely different implementation without affecting the other layers Term 081 Chapter-2 -5 CS 331 - Fakhry Khellah

Standard Protocol Models n The protocols of the various layers are called protocol stack n Two Standard Protocol models (stack) exist: n n Open System Interconnect (OSI) Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Term 081 Chapter-2 -6 CS 331 - Fakhry Khellah

OSI Model n n n Developed by ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) in 1970 s Provides framework for standardization An open system is a set of protocols that allow any two different systems to communicate regardless of their underlying architecture. Describes how data and network information moves from an application in one computer to an application in another computer. Dominated before 1990 Term 081 Chapter-2 -7 CS 331 - Fakhry Khellah

Subgroups of Layers n Network support layers n n n User support layers n n n 1, 2 and 3, physical, data link and network Deal with the physical aspects of moving data from one device to another 5, 6 and 7, session, presentation and application Allow interoperability among unrelated software systems Transport Layer n n 4 transport Links the two subgroups Term 081 Chapter-2 -10 CS 331 - Fakhry Khellah

OSI Protocols Implementation n n A protocol layer can be implemented in software, in hardware, or in a combination of the two Application, Presentation, Session and Transport are implemented in software Network is a mixed implementation of hardware and software Physical and data link are implemented in hardware in the network interface card (NIC) Term 081 Chapter-2 -11 CS 331 - Fakhry Khellah

Peer-to-Peer Processes Peers are entities (processes, hardware devices) on two or more machines communicating at a given layer Term 081 Chapter-2 -12 CS 331 - Fakhry Khellah

OSI model-Basic Operation n n Peer-to-Peer communication: Each layer on a sending node communicates (logically) with its peer layer on the receiving node using formatted blocks of data called Protocol Data Units (PDU) PDU = combination of data from the next higher layer and the control information of the current layer (Specific requests and instructions) n Control information are given in the header field of the block except for the data link (has both header and trailer) n Control information is read and executed ONLY by the peer layer on the receiving node Term 081 Chapter-2 -13 CS 331 - Fakhry Khellah
