What does the OSI Model do? - Answers -It defines 7 layers that describe the complete
application-based communications between any two systems. It provides open
interconnections between layers, such that multi-vendor environments can be
supported.
What are the Rules for Communication for the OSI Model? - Answers -1. The
communication between layers is handled in a specified (defined) manner.
2. Each layer is only able to communicate with its adjacent layers.
3. Each layer relies on the layers below it to perform their specified function.
4. Each layer relies on the layers above it to perform their specified function.
What are some benefits to the OSI Model? - Answers -1. Breaks network
communication into smaller, more manageable parts. Prevents changes in one layer
from affecting other layers.
2. Standardizes network components to allow multiple vendor development and
support.
3. Allows different types of network hardware and software to communicate with each
other.

HTTP, SIP, Telnet/SSH, SMTP, and Routing Protocols.
Where is the application layer of the OSI model defined? - Answers -X.207
