A Human Factors Extension to the Seven-Layer OSI Reference Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
An extension to the seven-layer OSI Reference Model is proposed as a way to facilitate discussions between HCI (Human-Computer Interaction) practitioners on one hand, and application and network developers on the other. A new common conceptual ground can be used to understand how to link applications to human needs as a function of network capabilities. The framework also permits an understanding of how to determine whose purview an issue is. Finally, the new OSI+HCI reference model provides a strategy for designing networks with the human requirements in mind.

The OSI Model and Switching
In this chapter we give the motivation and basic concepts of the OSI reference model, discuss its seven-layer architecture, the communication between systems using the OSI model, and finally the relationship between the OSI model and multilayer switching.
متن کاملA Comparative Evaluation of OSI and TCP/IP Models
Networking can be done in a layered manner. To reduce design complexities, network designers organize protocols. Every layer follows a protocol to communicate with the client and the server end systems. There is a piece of layer n in each of the network entities. These pieces communicate with each other by exchanging messages. These messages are called as layer-n protocol data units [n-PDU]. Al...
متن کاملAn Implementation of the OSI Upper Layers and Applications
1 Abstract Above the transport layer, the open systems interconnection (OSI) basic reference model describes several application standards supported by a common upper layer protocol stack. Digital's high-performance implementation of the upper layers of the protocol stack concentrates on maximizing data throughput while minimizing connection establishment delay. An additional benefit derived fr...

The dominant technology of data communication networks is the Packet Switching Network (PSN). It is a complex technology organized as various hierarchical layers according to the International Standard Organization (ISO) Open Systems Interconnect (OSI) Reference Model. The Network Layer of the ISO OSI Reference Model is responsible for delivering packets from their sources to their destinations...
