Networking 101: Part 2
Understanding Networking Models: OSI vs. TCP/IP Networking models provide a structured way to understand how data travels from one device to another. They break down a complex process into simple, manageable steps. Whether you're new to networking or looking to brush up on the basics, this blog will guide you from the very beginning (0) to an advanced understanding—all explained in simple language. In this post, we'll cover: Why layered models are important A detailed look at the OSI model (7 layers) An introduction to the TCP/IP model (4 layers) How the two models map to each other Key protocols used in each layer How Data Flows: From Your Laptop to YouTube How these models help with troubleshooting and system design 1. Why Layered Models? Imagine building a house: you start with a foundation, then add walls, wiring, and finally the roof. Each step relies on the previous one. Similarly, networking models break the process of sending data into layers, where each layer handles a specific part of the job. This makes it easier to design, troubleshoot, and update networks without redoing the entire system. Key benefits of layered models: Modularity: Each layer has its own responsibility. Simplified Troubleshooting: You can pinpoint problems to a specific layer. Interoperability: Different devices and software can work together because they adhere to common standards. 2. The OSI Model (7 Layers) The OSI (Open Systems Interconnection) model is a conceptual framework that divides network communication into 7 layers. Each layer adds its own header (a kind of packaging) to the data and passes it on to the next layer. Here’s a breakdown from the bottom (physical) to the top (application): Layer 1: Physical (Bits

1. Why Layered Models?
