Network - Layer 3
The network layer establishes the route
between the sending and receiving
stations. The node to node function of the
data link layer (layer 2) is extended
across the entire internetwork, because a
routable protocol contains a network
address in addition to a host address.

Packets proceed along their own route and
must be reordered at the end.

Class of Service CoS) and
Quality of Service (QoS)
In an enterprise network, class of service
(CoS) differentiates high-priority traffic
from lower-priority traffic. Tags may be
added to the packets to identify such
classes, but they do not guarantee
delivery as do quality of service (QoS)
functions, which are implemented in the
network devices.

Layer 4 Responsibilities:
Connection
Establish and release connections
Control between endpoints to avoid overflow
Multiplexing
Crash recovery (protection buffering)
Data transfer
Packet splitting
Expedited delivery
Transport - Layer 4
The transport layer is responsible for overall
end to end validity and integrity of the
transmission. The lower data link layer (layer
2) is only responsible for delivering packets
from one node to another. Thus, if a packet
gets lost in a router somewhere in the
enterprise internet, the transport layer will
detect that. It ensures that if a 12MB file is
sent, the full 12MB is received.

Connection oriented
Assures that packets
arrive in order and
that they are correct.
User Datagram Protocol
Connectionless
Sends packets out
without confirming
that they arrive

Layer 5 Responsibilities
Dialog management
Synchronization of checkpoints for error
recovery
Activity management to assure complete
action messages
Session - Layer 5
Coordinates communications. Determines
one-way or two-way communications and
manages the dialogue between both
parties; for example, making sure that the
previous request has been fulfilled before
the next one is sent. It also marks
transmitted data with checkpoints to allow
for fast recovery in the event of a
connection failure.

The Channel Service Unit terminates the
external line at the customer's premises.
It also provides diagnostics and allows for
remote testing.
The Digital Service Unit does the actual
transmission and receiving of the signal
and provides buffering and flow control.
The DSU and CSU are often in the same
unit.
