A couple posts ago, we talked about Layer 1 of the OSI Model — the Physical Layer. Today, we’ll start our climb up the Model with a visit to Layer 2, the Data Link Layer. The Data Link Layer is one of ...

If you have anything to do with networked AV and you're not well-versed in the OSI model, we've got you covered. You will learn the fundamental ideas around getting data from host A to host B over a ...

The Open System Interconnect (OSI) network model, referred to by many as simply a stack, is in fact a well-designed, layered architecture for efficient intersystem and intrasystem communications. In ...

Getting a handle on the invisible part of your network—the protocols that are in use—can be of enormous value in helping you detect problems.

Layer 2 of the OSI model is where we find the Data Link Layer, which provides the mechanism by which data is transferred from node to node across a network.

Strengthening the different layers of IT networks Getting started on designing a network is a task of formidable proportions, but all the more so if you are looking to build a secure network.

I like to think of the transport layer as the layer of the OSI Model that enables more interesting traffic. While we network engineers may love a lot of the simpler uses of the IP protocol and ...

Open System Interconnection, a layered model for network transport and applications. For instance, the seventh layer in the OSI model—the Application layer—defines program to program communication, or ...

Peeling back the layers of IoT devices reveals most of them are nothing more than what are already on the Internet in the form of present-day M2M devices. In just six years, according to Cisco Systems ...

As cybersecurity threats grow more sophisticated, traditional network architectures struggle to keep pace, especially in sectors reliant on legacy hardware. IMPRES Technology Solutions has introduced ...
