Layer 7: Application Layer
- Defines interface-to-user processes for communication and data transfer in network
- Provides standardized services such as virtual terminal, file and job transfer and operations
Layer 6: Presentation Layer
- Masks the differences of data formats between dissimilar systems
- Specifies architecture-independent data transfer format
- Encodes and decodes data; encrypts and decrypts data; compresses and decompresses data
Layer 5: Session Layer
- Manages user sessions and dialogues
- Controls establishment and termination of logic links between users
- Reports upper layer errors
Layer 4: Transport Layer
- Manages end-to-end message delivery in network
- Provides reliable and sequential packet delivery through error recovery and flow control mechanisms
- Provides connectionless oriented packet delivery
Layer 3: Network Layer
- Determines how data are transferred between network devices
- Routes packets according to unique network device addresses
- Provides flow and congestion control to prevent network resource depletion
Layer 2: Data Link Layer
- Defines procedures for operating the communication links
