OSI Reference Model Open Systems Interconnection Reference Model

Standard model for network communications Allows dissimilar networks to communicate Defines 7 protocol layers (a.k.a. protocol stack) Each layer on one workstation communicates with its

respective layer on another workstation using protocols (i.e. agreed-upon communication formats)

“Mapping” each protocol to the model is useful for comparing protocols.
