Answer / alfz

If they said OSI specifically then you might look at the
following
AL:HTTP,HTTPS,DNS,SMTP(if e-mail transfer is involved)
PrL:MIME
SL: Dunno
TL:TCP.
NL:IP,ICMP
DLL:ARP,PPP,Ethernet(if you are in LAN)
PhL:some signaling scheme like DSL,POTS

These take part ACTIVELY in communication.If they ask not
mentioning OSI tell SL and PL protocols in Transport L.

Answer / sandeep

as per my way, TCP/IP protocol works layer by layer rather
than OSI.

in appl as per services need means :- IMAP, POP3, SMTP and
HTTP. and also Encryption and compression algorthim occur.

in transport as port number for service going for access.

in n/w ARP,RARP

in physical ethernet, FDDI, token ring, FDDI

Answer / murali

there are 7 layers in osi starting from physical to
application layer. but everything starts from the user and
ends to a user.

we use a browser which is an application to access the HTTp
protocol or HTTpS . so this is how it works

browser -> http(portno :80tcp)(transport layer)-> network
layer -> datalink-> physical layer -> DNS (Convert from url
to ip) -> fetches info from web server.
