This article introduces the evolution of network infrastructure from physical line to cloud architecture. The network contains information about the 7-layer Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) network stack. This model was originally developed in the 1970s as part of the OSI project, which aims to provide a common network standard with multi-vendor interoperability. OSI is recognized and never replaced as TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) as a major Internet communication standard, but even today, the OSI stack exists in many technical documents and textbooks. Its purpose is to "provide" information to a client device such as a laptop, tablet or smart phone. In most cases, clicking a single website on a client device can result in a large amount of traffic between the servers in the data center.

Abstract


This article introduces the evolution of network infrastructure from physical line to cloud architecture. The network contains information about the 7-layer Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) network stack. This model was originally developed in the 1970s as part of the OSI project, which aims to provide a common network standard with multi-vendor interoperability. OSI is recognized and never replaced as TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) as a major Internet communication standard, but even today, the OSI stack exists in many technical documents and textbooks. Its purpose is to "provide" information to a client device such as a laptop, tablet or smart phone. In most cases, clicking a single website on a client device can result in a large amount of traffic between the servers in the data center.
