Unformatted sample text from the term paper:
Interconnection (OSI) model, tend to make use of protocols at each layer of the model. Protocols are modular and can be adapted and implemented as necessary in order to handle
the tasks that are required. In the OSI model, there are many processes, distributed throughout all of the layers, which have a critical impact upon encryption of transmitted data, and
therefore, on security and the privacy of the systems user. Three of the most important are L2TP which operates in the data link layer, IPSec which operates in the network
layer, and SSL which operates throughout the last four layers of the model. This paragraph helps the student to present a summary view of the OSI model upon which
to build the paper. Networking is a complex discipline of course, and as such, there are many different models to attempt to explain its structure and functionality. One such model
is known as the Open Systems Interconnection, or the OSI mode (Tuma & Fajfar, 2000). Similar to other models, this model breaks networking down into its constituent parts, as divided
by function, so that each "layer" of the process can be assessed independent, or in relation to the whole (Tuma & Fajfar, 2000). For example, the first layer of the
OSI model is the "physical layer", which includes the actual hardware, including servers, cabling, and end-user terminals, which makes up the "network". The second and third layers are the data
link and network layers, which help to transmit and encrypt data as it moves across the network, or to another network. This extends all the way up to layer seven,
the application layer, which refers to the specific program interface that the end-users use in order to create, access, receive and transmit information. The data link layer is the
