Understanding Protocols and the OSI Network Model Getting a handle on the invisible part of your network—the protocols that are in use—can be of enormous value in helping you detect problems.

In this two-part series, we'll provide a different view of the OSI model, showing how the layers are interconnected and what protocol services are available at each level. In Part 1, we'll provide a ...

If you have anything to do with networked AV and you're not well-versed in the OSI model, we've got you covered. You will learn the fundamental ideas around getting data from host A to host B over a ...

Open System Interconnection, a layered model for network transport and applications. For instance, the seventh layer in the OSI model—the Application layer—defines program to program communication, or ...

Layer 2 of the OSI model is where we find the Data Link Layer, which provides the mechanism by which data is transferred from node to node across a network. What makes this layer important is that ...

As cybersecurity threats grow more sophisticated, traditional network architectures struggle to keep pace, especially in sectors reliant on legacy hardware. IMPRES Technology Solutions has introduced ...

Software defined networks are, of course, already well-established, but there the target is really only the first three layers of the famous OSI 7-Layer network mode l – the physical, data-link and ...

To understand network communications, it is essential to learn about the protocol layers (see OSI model).
