Peers
Layered
Approach
The entities comprising the corresponding layers on
different machines are called peers
It is the peers that communicate by using the
protocols
Actually, data is not transferred from layer n on one
machine to layer n on another machine
Each layer passes data and control information to the
layer immediately below it, until the lowest layer is
reached
Actual data communication takes place through the
lowest layer – the physical layer
Design Issues for the Layers
Addressing
Errorcontrol
Order of messages must be preserved
Flow control – fast sender and slow receiver !
Disassembling, transmitting, and reassembling large
messages
Multiplexing / de-multiplexing
