Online Course L2112:
The OSI Layers and Protocol Stacks |
| 14 interactive multipart lessons, multiple-choice exam and certificate. Produced 2012. |
| Protocols & Standards • Open Systems • OSI Model • Layers • Protocol Stacks • FedEx Analogy |
 |
|
Course L2112 The OSI Layers and Protocol Stacks begins the IP courses in the Certified Telecommunications Network Specialist (CTNS) certification package and is the first course in the Certified IP Telecom Network Specialist (CIPTS) package. |
| This course establishes a framework for all of the discussions in subsequent lessons and courses: the OSI 7-Layer Reference Model, which identifies and divides the functions to be performed into groups called layers. |
| This framework is required to sort out the many functions that need to be performed, and to be able to discuss separate issues separately. |
|
You'll learn what a layer is, the purpose of each layer, see examples of protocols used to implement each layer, and learn how a protocol stack really works with the famous "FedEx Analogy" presented as an embedded video by our top instructor, Eric Coll.
|
|
Based on Teracom’s famous Course 101, tuned and refined over the course of 20 years of instructor-led training, we'll cut through the jargon to demystify layers, explaining the jargon and buzzwords, and most importantly, the underlying ideas, and how it all works together… in plain English.

| Course Objectives: What You Will Learn
|
|
|
This course can be taken by both those who need simply an overview and introduction to the idea of layers and the OSI model, and by those embarking on a certification and planning to take further courses.
|
|
If you're in the first group, the objective is not to become an instant expert, but rather to become familiar with the structure that is used to be able to discuss separate issues separately, what a layer is, the basic functions of each layer, what a protocol stack is and how it works, and where things you've heard of before like Ethernet, IP and TCP fit into the picture… to demystify the jargon and buzzwords, to eliminate frustration and increase your confidence and effectiveness.
|
|
If you’re in the second group, and your objective is to put in place a structure for subsequent courses, following is a list of concrete objectives. On completion of this course, you will be able to explain: |
|
• The concept of an open system and its advantages
|
|
• What a protocol is and what a standard is
|
|
• The OSI Model and its purpose
|
|
• What a Layer is
|
|
• The seven layers of the OSI model
|
|
• The name of each layer
|
|
• The functions each layer is responsible for
|
|
• Examples of actual protocols for each layer
|
|
• What a protocol stack is and how it operates
|
|
• Examples of standards organizations that publish protocols
|
