OSI Model Definition: The OSI (Open Systems Interconnection) Model is a conceptual framework that standardizes the functions of a telecommunication or computing system into seven abstraction layers to facilitate interoperability between different systems.
The OSI (Open Systems Interconnection) model is a conceptual framework that standardizes the communication functions of a telecommunication or computing system into seven abstraction layers. Each layer provides a specific set of functions necessary for network communication, with each layer building upon the services provided by the lower layers. The layers are: Physical, Data Link, Network, Transport, Session, Presentation, and Application. This model helps in understanding and designing network communication systems.
