Open Systems Interconnection (OSI)
Definition
Set of protocols defined by ISO as the international standard computer network architecture. It takes a modular approach to network design that divides the required functions into seven self-contained, manageable, and functional layers, and is meant to interconnect equipment from different vendors. OSI, however, does not specify 'how' the systems should interconnect, it only defines interfaces for interconnection.
Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) is in the Data Management, Communications, & Networks subject.
