What Does OSI Stand For?

OSI stands for Open Systems Interconnection

Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) is a conceptual framework used to understand and implement how different networking systems communicate with each other. Developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), the OSI model divides network communication into seven distinct layers, ranging from the physical transmission of data to the application level used by end-user software. This layered approach facilitates interoperability, standardization, and troubleshooting in complex network environments.
