A 7-layer architecture model for communications systems; the OSI model was created by the International Standards Organization (ISO). [ Picture
A framework of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standards for communication between different systems made by different vendors, in which the communications process is organized into seven different categories that are placed in a layered sequence based on their relationship to the user. Each layer uses the layer immediately below it and provides a service to the layer above. Layers 7 through 4 deal with end-to-end communication between the message source and destination, and layers 3 through 1 deal with network functions.
A communications model developed by the International Standards Organization (ISO) to define all of the services a LAN should provide. This model defines seven layers, each of which provides a subset of all of the LAN services. This layered approach allows small groups of related services to be implemented in a modular fashion that makes designing network software much more flexible.
ISO's Reference Model for a seven-layer network architecture used for the definition of network protocol standards enabling all OSI-compliant computers or devices to communicate with each other.
a family of standards promulgated by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and adhering to a specific model that promotes interoperability.
A set of standards that define the seven layers of communication protocols for a network; ISO defines these standards.
A set of standard protocol grouped into seven layers: the physical, data link, network, transport, session, presentation, and application layers. [San Diego State University
The set of standards and reference model for computer communication that allow communication between computer systems regardless of manufacture, operating systems etc.
A model for implementing the protocols and interfaces to facilitate communications among computers of different manufacture and technology, being a seven-layer structure of (from lowest to highest) physical, data link, network, transport, session, presentation, and application.
A 7-layer architecture model for communications systems developed by ISO and used as a reference model for most network architectures.
A suite of protocols, designed by ISO committees, to be the international standard computer network architecture. See also: International Organization for Standardization. [Source: RFC1392
The interconnection of open systems in accordance with standards of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) for the exchange of information.
The interconnection of open systems in accordance with ISO standards.
A model of network architecture developed by ISO as a framework for international standards in heterogeneous computer network architecture. The OSI architecture is split between seven layers, from lowest to highest: 1. Physical layer 2. Data link layer 3. Network layer 4. Transport layer 5. Session layer 6. Presentation layer 7. Application layer Each layer uses the layer immediately following it and provides a service to the layer preceding.
(normalization, network) The OSI Reference Model of network architecture and a suite of protocols (protocol stack) to implement it were developed by ISO in 1978 as a framework for international standards in heterogeneous computer network architecture. The architecture is split between seven layers: application layer presentation layer session layer transport layer network layer datalink layer physical layer Each specifying the protocols and functions required for two nodes to communicate using the underlying network infrastructure (physical medium, switches, routers, bridges, multiplexers, intermediate nodes). Each layer uses the layer immediately below it and provides a service to the layer above. See also OSIRM. OSPF

(OSI) A model for network communications consisting of seven layers that describe what happens when computers communicate with one another.
(OSI): Pertaining to the logical structure for communications networks standardized by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
A seven-layer network system architecture that specifies how to communicate messages from an application on one computer to an application on another computer. Each layer is self contained, allowing for advances in one layer to be implemented without affecting the other layers. See Modular system.
A seven-layer architecture model for communications systems developed by the ISO for the interconnection of data communications systems. Each layer uses and builds on the services provided by those below it. An international standardization program to facilitate communications among computers from different manufacturers.

The Open Systems Interconnection (usually abbreviated to OSI) was an effort to standardize networking that was started in 1982 by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), along with the ITU-T.
