A network analyst is investigating an automated host that fails to exchange data with a remote cloud API. Packet capture analysis confirms that physical media connections are operational, Ethernet frames are delivered without CRC errors, IP packets are routed across subnets without loss, and TCP three-way handshakes complete successfully. However, session logs reveal that communication terminates abruptly when the client and server attempt to negotiate character set encoding, data compression, and payload encryption standards. At which layer of the OSI reference model is this operational failure occurring?
- Presentation Layer (Layer 6)Cevap
- BSession Layer (Layer 5)
- CApplication Layer (Layer 7)
- DTransport Layer (Layer 4)
Cevap
The operational failure is occurring at the Presentation Layer (Layer 6).
The correct answer identifies the Presentation Layer (Layer 6). This layer acts as the data translator for the network, handling tasks such as character encoding conversion (e.g., ASCII/EBCDIC), data compression, and encryption/decryption formatting so that differing systems can interpret payload syntax properly.

Anahtar Kavram
OSI Layer 6 (Presentation Layer) functions including data translation, character encoding, syntax presentation, compression, and encryption.
