Layers of the OSI Model
There are 7 layers in the OSI Model and each layer has its specific role in handling
data. All the layers are mentioned below:-
1)Physical Layer
2)Data Link Layer
3)Network Layer
4)Transport Layer
5)Session Layer
6)Presentation Layer
7)Application Layer
Layer 6 –Presentation Layer
The presentation layer is also called theTranslation layer. The data from the
application layer is extracted here and manipulated as per the required format
to transmit over the network.
Protocols used in the Presentation Layer areJPEG,MPEG,GIF,TLS/SSL, etc.
