Seven Layers of the OSI Networking Model

1234567
Across
  1. 4. This layer provides for reliable delivery of packets.
  2. 5. This layer allows applications to request network services.
  3. 7. This layer establishes sessions between network applications.
Down
  1. 1. This layer handles routing of data across network segments.
  2. 2. This layer converts data so that systems that use different data formats can exchange information.
  3. 3. This layer provides MAC addresses to uniquely identify network nodes and a means for data to be sent over the physical layer in the form of packets. Bridges and switches are examples of devices used in this layer.
  4. 6. This layer governs the layout of cables and devices, such as repeaters and hubs.
