What is the OSI model?

OSI model 
OSI stands for open system interconnection .OSI model is a reference model developed by ISO in 1984 ,which defines how data is transferred from one computer network to another computer network .OSI model consists of 7 layers .These are follows- 
(1) Application later- 
- Application layer is the top-most layer of the OSI model .
- Application layer is used by network applications .It means computer application that use internet .Like -Google chrome,Safari etc.
- It allows application to communicate with other application. 
- Protocols like Http,ftp, telnet,smtp etc, are worked in this layer .
(2) Presentation layer-
-The presentation layer is also known as Syntax layer .
- The presentation layer translates data between the format the network require and the format the computer expects.It means ,it does encryption at sender side and decryption at receiver side.Encryption means changing the plain text into cipher text and decryption means changing the cipher to plain text .
(3) Session layer- 
- When two stations need to communicate with each other ,a session is need to be created ,this is done by session layer .
- The function of session layer is setup, coordination and termination between applications at each end.
(4) Transport layer- 
-Transport layer provides connectivity to both software layer and hardware layer .
-Software layer consists of 3 layers i.e, Application layer, presentation layer and session layer .
-Hardware layer consists of Network layer ,data link layer and physical layer .
-segmentation occurs at transport layer .
-Two major protocols are used in this layer i.e, TCP and UDP for data transmission.
-Tcp(transmission control protocol) is generally used to retransmit data and it provides acknowledgement of data .
-UDP(user datagram protocol) is used for fast data transmission.Does not the data will be lost or not .but UDP is faster than TCP .UDP doesn't provide the acknowledgement of the data .
(5) Network layer- 
-The main function of Network layer is logical addressing , Routing and path determination.
-Data unit in network layer is called packets.
-IP addressing is done in network layer is called logical addressing. In logical addressing senders and receivers IP addresses are assigned to each segment to form a data packet .
-Routing is the method of moving data packets from source to destination.
- Choosing the best path out of the available path for data delivery is called path determination.
-Protocols like ARP, ICMP etc. are used in Network layer .
(6)Data link layer- 
- Physical addressing is done at data link layer ,where senders and receivers IP(internet protocol) addresses are assigned to each data packets to form a frame .
-Data unit in data link layer is called Frame.
-Data link layer with MAC method control data transmission. 
-The main function of data link layer is error control,flow control and it also provides a well defined interface to Network layer .
(7) Physical layer - 
-It is the lowest layer of the OSI model .
-It is the lowest layer of the OSI model.
-It establishes the actual physical connection between the devices.
-The main function of physical layer is transforming of bits into signal .

What is POP3 and IMAP ? Difference between POP3 and IMAP.

POP3:- -POP3 stands for post office protocol   version 3. -It is a simple protocol with limited   functionality which is used for opening   remote e-mail boxes. -It is a pull protocol. -It is an application layer protocol. -A POP3 sever stores message for each   user until the user logs in using e-mail   client and downloads the message to   their  computer.Once the the message is   downloaded ,it(message) is deleted from   the server. -In POP3,you can access mail from a   single device.once you have downloaded   the mail to your desktop after it you can't   download the same message to your   laptop because the mail had deleted after   first download. -The transfer protocol of POP3 is   TCP(Transmission control protocol).Post   office protocol version 3 uses TCP for   communication and It uses T...

Difference between Hub and Switch

Hub is a networking device which operates on physical layer of the OSI(open system interconnection) model whereas switch is also a networking device but it operates on data link layer of the OSI model .Hub is purely hardware  but switch is a device which is the combination of both software and hardware.Hub supports broadcast transmission whereas switch supports Unicast, multicast and broardcast transmission .Hub is having single collision domain whereas Every port of Switch is separate collision domain.Transmission mode of hub is half-duplex whereas transmission mode of switch is full-duplex.Hub can do only forwarding whereas Switch can be able to do both forwarding and filtering.Hub can't store MAC (media access control) address where as switch stores MAC address.

Linear Regression in Power BI

Linear Regression is Predictive model used for finding the linear relationship between a dependent and one or more independent variables. In regression the dependent variable has to be continuous numerical (not categorical like Green, Yellow etc). In Simple linear regression, we have one independent variable and one dependent variable. It is also known as Univariate linear regression, as there is only one independent variable. In Multiple linear regressions, we have more than one independent variable and one dependent variable. It is also known as multivariate linear regression, as there is more than one independent variable. Now our goal is to predict the home price by using the Simple Linear Regression. (Name of the above table is SimpleLinearRegression ) In this table we have the prices of home based on the Area of that home. Here we have to predict the Price based on the given Area. As we are predicting the price based on the area. So, Price is the dependent variable and ...
