OSI Reference Model
The Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model is a classic seven-layer educational framework structured from bottom physical signals to top user applications: Physical (cables, radio waves, voltages), Data Link (device-to-device delivery via MAC addresses), Network (packet routing across networks via IP addresses), Transport (end-to-end delivery using TCP and UDP), Session (managing dialogues between applications), Presentation (data formatting and encryption), and Application (software interface for users, such as browsers or email).

In a modular layered network model, modifying or updating an individual layer requires re-engineering the entire network stack simultaneously.
An engineering team is planning to update an individual protocol layer in their network stack. Based on the principles of modular layered network architecture, explain how this update can occur independently. In your explanation, be sure to address:
- The overarching purpose of structuring network systems into modular layers.
- The functional dependency between the layer being updated and the layer immediately beneath it.
- Why the updated layer must continue to fulfill its dedicated function

Match each OSI reference model layer to its primary role as described in the model.
In the OSI reference model, managing dialogues between applications is the responsibility of the ___ layer.
Place these OSI reference model layers in order from bottom (physical signals) to top (user applications).
Based on the OSI reference model, which layer encompasses the cables and voltages causing this communication failure?
