The OSI Model – Layer 5: Sessions
In my last post, we explored the fourth layer of the OSI framework: the transport layer. As we saw, this layer is responsible for a transparent data flow between end…

The OSI Model – Layer 4: Transport
In my last post, we explored the third layer of the OSI framework: the network layer. As we saw, switching and routing technologies are part of this layer, transmitting data from endpoint to endpoint. Routing technologies create logical paths.

The OSI Model – Layer 3: Routing
In the last post, we explored the second layer of the OSI framework. As we saw, data packets are part of this layer and are encoded and decoded into bits. You can do this with supportive tools that you can categorize as sublayers of layer two: a MAC address and a Logic Link Controller.

The OSI Model | Layer 2
In my previous post, we started the journey through networking by following the OSI framework. With this framework, you get a clear overview of how you set up a network correctly. It also gives you a solid troubleshooting guideline in case of problems in your (organization’s) network.

The OSI Model | Fundamentals
When you encounter complex technologies, you need to simplify the process by breaking it down into simple, isolated processes and actions. This is done by using a network model. Practice is important but without a guideline/roadmap you might get stuck or come up with a solution that is not the most optimal one.

Local Area Networks | Part 3
Setting up a Wired Network is easy to do if you know how it works. In previous posts, I showed how a Local Area Network (LAN) and how a Wide Area Network (WAN) works and what important part they play in a connection with the internet.

Local Area Networks | Part 2
In a previous post about networks, we traveled through the basics of setting up a LAN and a Star Network. This was done in preparation for our next destination: the networking world outside a local environment.
