Physical Layer of OSI Model (Layer-1)

Physical Layer of OSI Model

Physical Layer of OSI Model is the first layer in seven layers for simplification. It is responsible for transmission of data between sending & receiving devices. It also defines the means of transmitting raw bits over the transmission media. Physical layer addresses how the data is carried over the Physical media rather than logical data packets over a physical data link connecting network nodes. Each layer in OSI Model has its own duties & specific functions to perform so that it can support the layers above it. Below figure shows the position of Physical layer in the OSI Model:   Read More …
