Layer of OSI modl in simple words

The Physical Layer represents your network card, cabling, etc.

The Data Link Layer controls the physical layer and corrects any errors it detects in transmission.

The Network Layer defines network topology and provides, among other features, routing.

The Transport Layer is responsible for establishing, maintaining and terminating communication with other network devices and ensures data delivery.

The Session Layer manages flow control over the data being sent and received. you can think of it as the synchronization layer.

The Presentation Layer prepares the data for the layers above and below it. it makes sure the data being passed through is, let's call it, "universal" or "platform independent".

The Application Layer represents the service making use of the network. (usually the program the user is interacting with) Think telnet or ftp.

Thanks & Regards,
