Read the units from the outside inward A layer groups communication responsibilities. A header gives control information; its payload is the carried data. In these examples a link frame carries an IPv4 packet, which carries a TCP segment or a UDP datagram, which carries application content. This is encapsulation. Fresh guided case: a weather update carried by UDP. Outermost -> innermost: Ethernet frame -> IPv4 packet -> UDP datagram -> weather update Application outward uses the reverse order. State the direction first. Two maps. They are teaching labels, not a claim that every protocol has one perfect box. Internet map used in this lesson 4 application the note or page a program sends 3 transport TCP or UDP, end to end for applications 2 internet IPv4 addressing on these cards 1 link the frame on the local segment OSI names used beside that map 7 application 6 presentation 5 session 4 transport 3 network 2 data link 1 physical Keep this seven-layer list separate from the four-layer Internet model. RFC 1122 says the Internet application layer combines the OSI presentation and application jobs. Worked stack, a short note carried by UDP. Name lookup is a later lesson. application the note transport UDP internet IPv4 link Ethernet frame Separate status-note pieces for the later checks, not yet assigned to layers Status note TCP segment IPv4 packet Ethernet frame Apply the layer responsibilities to these pieces in the later checks.
