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.
