Networking : OSI model layers

 In 500-1000 words: 1. Describe how OSI model layers can effect a network’s design and networking in general. 2. There are two different types of switching technologies available in today’s market. One lives on one layer, while the other resides in a different layer of the OSI model. Locate these switching technologies, describe the differences in functionality, and relate those differences to the functions inherent within the OSI model. 3. How can the OSI model be useful during troubleshooting processes? • Description of OSI Model Layer’s Effect on Networks and Networking • Description of Switching Technology Differences in Functionality (relates differences to the Functions inherent within the OSI model) • Explanation of the OSI Model’s Usefulness During Troubleshooting Processes
