Writing the Open Systems Interconnection Reference Model Form document

OSI Reference Model

The Open Systems Interconnection Reference Model (OSI Reference Model) is provided for this project to describe the flow of data and to illustrate how one layer should interact with another. The table below divides the functions of an application or protocol implemented in the solution into a series of layers. Each layer communicates and exports functionality into the layer above and below itself. The lower layers deal with the physical connections and hardware requirements while the higher layers tend to be implemented within the application and user interaction portion of the solution.

Repeat for each protocol needing a description – or combine all protocols by their layers into a single table per layer.
