The OSI model (a.k.a. Open Systems Interconnection protocol stack) describes a set of protocols structured in seven abstraction layers. Each layer adds encapsulation information (header + some data) to the incoming information before it is passed to the lower layer for further encapsulation or direct transfer through the physical medium.
