Abstract
In this chapter, we look at layered models, which are standard ways of organising networks. The chapter starts with an explanation of network layering and its advantages. Next, there is a description of one of the most important networking models, the open systems interconnection (OSI) 7-layer model. An explanation of the principles of data encapsulation follows. Another important networking model, TCP/IP, is then explained and compared with the 7-layer model. Finally, we look at several important networking standards bodies.
