The physical layer is layer 1. It comprises the hardware (routers, repeaters, hubs, switches, etc.) that are used to form the physical basis of a network. They receive, process, and transmit raw electric (or optical) signals, rather than logical data packets.

Explain OSI model?

The Open Systems Interconnection model (OSI model) was a product of the Open Systems Interconnection effort at the International Organization for Standardization. It is a way of sub-dividing a communications system into smaller parts called layers. Similar communication functions are grouped into logical layers. A layer provides services to its upper layer while receiving services from the layer below. On each layer, an instance provides service to the instances at the layer above and requests service from the layer below.For example, a layer that provides error-free communications across a network provides the path needed by applications above it, while it calls the next lower layer to send and receive packets that make up the contents of that path. Two instances at one layer are connected by a horizontal connection on that layer.


What are 5 steps of data decapsulation?

Data decapsulation involves the process of removing headers and trailers from data packets as they pass through the layers of the OSI model. The five steps typically include: 1) Receiving the data link frame, 2) Stripping the data link layer header and trailer to reveal the network layer packet, 3) Removing the network layer header to access the transport layer segment, 4) Decapsulating the transport layer header to expose the application layer data, and finally, 5) Delivering the application data to the appropriate application process or service. This process ensures that data is correctly interpreted and processed at each layer.


Do scientific models have two basic types?

mathematical model and physical model


Types of scientific models?

They are: 1. Conceptual-such as our mental image of the DNA spiral, helps frame research questions and make general predictions 2. Numerical-uses math or statistics to describe the image and make quantitative predictions about it 3. Physical-physically represents the object and it's apprearance


What type of models in science can be seen and touched?
