Decent Essays

Each layer has a specific function and the layers work together to allow an application to send data over a computer network without really specifying the exact protocols and/or physical wiring within each layer. In line with the figure above, when the first CEO sends an email message to the second CEO, email ‘application worker’ firstly prompts the first CEO to enter a message and specify that the receiver is the second CEO. The application worker then creates the necessary data package with message contents and the destination email address and send s this to a ‘transport worker’. The transport worker provides transport integrity. The transport worker may establish a connection with the receiver (second CEO); monitor the overall flow between sender and receiver, and perform the overall error control to recover any lost data to protect …show more content…

The ‘network worker’ then takes the data package from the transport worker and adds routing information as to assign the package with a specific PO BOX address or rather a network address (if you may) in order to navigate through the network. The ‘network access worker’ then inserts error-checking information and prepares the data for transmission. The ‘physical worker’ finally transmits the data via a physical or wireless medium so that the second CEO receives the message. The following figure shows how the data is transmitted from the application layer to the physical layer. In the case of sending an email, in the same breadth, the OSI model follows similar logical and physical connections when transmitting the email from one CEO’s email mailbox to the other’s. The other difference is that though the TCP/IP protocol suite has 5 layers, the OSI model has seven layers which basically
