[Solved] Osi Reference Model Scoring
Overview
While the OSI Reference Model provides us with a conceptual framework for talking about how networks function, it is the TCP/IP protocols that are essential for actually enabling modern networking and data communications.
Imagine that you are relaxing at your favorite local coffee shop enjoying a delicious beverage. You turn on your laptop or smartphone, connect to the shop’s wireless local area network (WLAN), and use the Internet to access your cloud-based e-mail (for example Gmail). What protocols make it all work?
In this assignment, you explain and illustrate concepts and functioning of some TCP/IP protocol functions and interactions related to the use of cloud-based e-mail from a client connected to a WLAN.
Directions
Part 1 – E-mail client and Cloud-Based E-mail Path Diagram
Draw a diagram of a typical data transmission path between an e-mail client and a cloud-based e-mail server depicting the following components involved in the data transmission.
- Physical media.
- Wireless access point.
- Local and remote switches and routers.
- Firewalls.
- ISPs and the Internet Cloud service provider.
Make sure to do the following:
- Create a network diagram that accurately depicts cloud-based e-mail server to remote client transmission.
Part 2 – The OSI Layer and Security
Write a detailed narrative explanation of the primary function of each OSI layer and describe its part in facilitating a typical data transmission from a cloud-based e-mail server to a remote client computer. After that, describe three or four security issues inherent to the TCP/IP protocol suite.
Make sure to do the following:
- Explain the primary function of each layer of the OSI model and its related TCP/IP protocols.
- Describe the OSI layers’ part in facilitating a typical data transmission from a cloud-based e-mail server to a remote client computer.
- Describe security problems inherent to the TCP/IP protocol suite.
- Frame your explanations using vocabulary and frameworks that are appropriate for technical stakeholders.
Submission Requirements
- Submit a single Word document with both parts of this assignment.
- Font: Times New Roman, 12 point.
- Format: Double spaced lines. Use current APA style and format.
