The OSI 7 layer model descibes the theoretical levels of networking on a computer Layer 1 Physical Layer - actual network cable and connectors
Layer 2 Data Link Layer - network address (MAC) and packet switching
Layer 3 Network Layer - internet Protocol (IP) - addressing and packet routing
Layer 4 Transport Layer - Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) - packet sequencing & error correction
Layer 5 Session Layer - Connection control for repeated send/receive (a session)
Layer 6 Presentation Layer - presenting information to application in correct format
LAyer 7 Application Layer - actual display/control of information, layout etc. for two computers to communicate -example chat program the following would occur user types into a chat program on computer A (7)
application accepts input and decides what to do with it (6)
a connection is requested to send to computer B (5)
the message is broken into pieces and encpsulated within a packet (which includes the address to send to and the address from which it came) Packets are given a sequence number(4)(3)
Packet sent across the network using the addressing information to determine where to go to(3)(2)(1) on Computer B the revers happens - packet is put back together - addressing information is removed and eventually displayed on the screen.
OSI stands for Open Systems Interconnection and was created by ISO, the International Standards Organization.
The OSI "reference model" divides particular networked processes into seven different layers:
Application (Layer 7)
Presentation (Layer 6)
Session (Layer 5)
Transport (Layer 4)
Network (Layer 3)
Data-Link (Layer 2) and
Physical (Layer 1)
There are at least 2 ways (mnemonics) to help you remember the layers:
1. Please Do Not Throw Sausage Pizza Away.
2. All People Seem To Need Data Processing.
The 7 layers are as follows :
1) Layer 1 - physical 2) Layer 2 - data link 3) Layer 3 - network 4) Layer 4 - transport 5) Layer 5 - session 6) Layer 6 - presentation 7) Layer 7 - application

The seven layers of the OSI Model are: Physical Layer, Data Link Layer, Network Layer, Transport Layer, Session Layer, Presentation Layer and Application Layer.
The OSI Model stands for Open Systems Interconnection. The answer to the question which layer of the OSI model are layers capable of functioning is at all layers.
encapsulation
Layer 2 is divided into the LLC and MAC sublayers.
Offcourse osi..... TCP/IP is an implementation of osi....
the OSI model prescribes the steps to be used to transfer data over a transmission medium from one networked device to another. A layered model defines each layer separately. [ As long as the interconnections between layers remain constant, protocol designers can specialize in one area (layer) without worrying about how any new implementations affect other layers. ]

The OSI model acts as a standard in design of computer networks. It consists of total seven layers.
The NIC operates on Layer 2 (Data Link Layer) of the OSI Model.
