Key Concepts

-
OSI Model
The OSI Model is a theoretical framework used to understand network interactions in seven distinct layers, from the Physical Layer (Layer 1) up to the Application Layer (Layer 7). It helps in designing and troubleshooting networks by isolating functionalities and defining standardized protocols at each layer, which assists in diagnosing issues and ensuring components can effectively communicate across a network.
Gateway
A gateway is a network device that facilitates communication between different networks that may use different protocols. Unlike devices that operate strictly at a single layer, gateways typically perform protocol conversion and may work across multiple layers of the OSI Model to ensure seamless interconnection and data communication between disparate systems.
