								Define Same-layer interaction									 | 
								The communication between two networking devices for the purposes of the functions defined at a particular layer of a networking model.  This communication is conducted using a header and encapsulated data defined by that layer of the model.									 | 
| 
								Define Adjacent-layer interaction									 | 
								The basic concept of how on one computer two adjacent layers in a network model work together with the lower layer providing services to the higher layer.									 | 
| 
								In regards to TCP, What is a segment?									 | 
								A segment is the term used to describe the TCP header and its encapsulated data. I.E. the transport layer in the TCP/IP model									 | 
| 
								What is a packet?									 | 
								A Packet is the IP header and its encapsulated data, i.e. the Internet layer of the TCP/IP model									 | 
| 
								What is a Frame?									 | 
								A frame is the Link Header, it's encapsulated data, and the Link trailer. i.e. the Network access layer of the TCP/IP model.									 | 
| 
								What is a protocol data unit (PDU)?									 | 
								A PDU is an OSI Layer term to generically refer to a grouping of information at a particular layer of the OSI model.  i.e. LxPDU would imply the data and headers as defined by Layer X									 | 
| 
								List the layers of the OSI Model.									 | 
								(FYI mnemonic: All people seem to need data processing) 7. Application6. Presentation5. Session4. Transport3. Network2. Data-Link1. Physical | 
| 
								List the Layers of the TCP/IP models and their OSI Equivalents									 | TCP/IP model OSI ModelApplication Layers 5-7 (App, Pres, session)Transport Layer 4 (Transport)Internet Layer 3 (Network)Network Access Layer 2-1 (Data-Link, Physical) Sometimes Network Access is split into Data Link & Physical | 
| 
								List and define layer 7 of the OSI Model & Provide an Example(s)									 | 
								Application - Interfaces between network and application software.  Also includes user authentication services									 | 
| 
								List and define layer 6 of the OSI Model & Provide an Example									 | 
								Presentation - Defines and negotiates data formats between systems.  It also defines encryption.  Examples ASCII, JPEG, binary.									 | 
| 
								List and define layer 5 of the OSI Model & Provide an Example									 | 
								Session - Establishes and maintains end-to-end bidirectional flows between endpoints.  Includes managing transaction flows									 | 
| 
								List and define layer 4 of the OSI Model & Provide an Example									 | 
								Transport - Provides connection establishment and termination, flow control, error recovery, and segmentation of large data blocks into smaller parts for transmission.									 | 
| 
								List and define layer 3 of the OSI Model & Provide an Example									 | 
								Network - Logical addressing, routing, and path determination.									 | 
| 
								List and define layer 2 of the OSI Model & Provide an Example									 | 
								Data-link - formats data into frames appropriate for transmission onto some physical medium.  Defines rules for when the medium can be used.  Defines means by which to recognize transmission errors.									 | 
| 
								List and define layer 1 of the OSI Model & Provide an Example									 | 
								Physical - Defines the electrical, optical, cabling, connectors, and procedural details required for transmitting bits over a physical medium.									 |
