OSI Model is a structure to define the system of networking. It allows the transfer of data from one device to another over a network. Charles Bachman at Honeywell Information Systems was the one to suggest the idea of the OSI model. Initially, it wasn’t accepted well because of Internet protocol suite incompatibility. But over time, it became quite famous with international recognition. The history of the OSI model dates back to the early 1970s.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The International organization of Standardisation took an initiative to conduct a program for methods of networking in the 1970s. The United Kingdom undertook an Experimental Packet Switched System in 1973 that concluded the need for defining the higher-level protocols. The OSI model came out in 1983 intending to provide detailed specifications of actual interfaces. But eventually, in 1984, ISO announced this model as an international standard.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It was after this that large IT companies and organizations started using this model widely. It became prominent with its layer structure and efficient characteristics. Let us look at them in detail now –\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
