There are several steps in the process of sending or receiving a resource from a remote source over a network, and each of those steps has been deeply considered by the network engineers tasked with executing them. In this section, we'll look at who those network engineers were, and how they defined a general pattern for implementing each step in that process. This section will be all about the OSI, and how that specification defines the network stack of a given network device.
The Open Systems Interconnection network stack
What exactly is the Open Systems Interconnection?
In order to talk about communication protocols, we need to understand how each protocol fits into the larger picture of network connectivity, and to...
