Open Systems Interconnection Model (OSI)

The OSI model is a conceptual reference framework that divides network functions into seven distinct layers. It facilitates communication, troubleshooting and architectural decisions by defining responsibilities and interfaces between layers. Primarily a didactic and structural tool, it helps classify protocols and services across networking stacks.

This block bundles baseline information, context, and relations as a neutral reference in the model.
