Open Systems Interconnection - Protocol Specifications
  • (OSI) The lowest level of abstraction within the OSI standards scheme. Each OSI-Protocol Specification operates at a single layer. Each defines the primitive operations and permissible responses required to exchange information between peer processes in communicating systems to carry out all or a subset of the services defined within the OSI-Service Definitions for that layer.
