Education Tool for OSI Model

Abstract

The project is based on making an education tool for the simulation of the layers of the OSI model which will help to understand the function of these layers. A reference model is a conceptual blueprint of how communication should take place. It addresses all the process required for effective communication and divides these processes into logical grouping called layers. When a communication system is designed in this manner, it is known as layered architecture. The OSI isn’t a physical model, though. Rather, it’s a set of guidelines that application developers used to create and implement application that run on network. It also provides a framework for creating and implementing networking standards, devices, and internetworking schemes which comprises of seven different layers. Each layer is having its own responsibilities. It was ratified in 1984, is like an INTERFACE between two parties i.e., one sender and other receiver. The OSI model was basically developed to simplify network complexity, facilitate network training and introduce easy network troubleshooting.
