First there needs to be a medium for the data ie. 1s and 0s to pass through, this can be copper in which the 1s are jolts of electricity and zeros are the lack of jolts. Fiber optic which is a glass or plastic wire that transmits light 1s are when light is received 0s when no light is. or over the air which follows the same patten only with radio waves.

Then the layer 2 protocols which are how simple networks tell computers who they are.

Layer 3 a more complicated form of the previous.

Upper layers decide how the data that is transmitted is organized.
