The OSI processing layer that provides services to the application layer, allowing it to interpret the data exchanged as well as structure data messages to be transmitted in a specific display and control format.
The sixth layer of the OSI Reference Model. The OSI model has been designated by ITU and ISO to enable data communication between different computers, and it standardizes both the overall network structure as well as protocols used therein. Presentation Layer is responsible for managing data formats. see OSI Reference Model
The OSI layer that determines how Application information is represented (i.e., encoded) while in transit between two end systems. [Source: RFC1208
The layer of the OSI model that converts and translates, if necessary, informatin between the Session and Application layers.
The sixth level of the OSI model, which is concerned with the presentation of data at the receiving end of the link.
Layer 6 in the OSI model. The Presentation Layer performs data format translation, data compression to efficiently use network resources, and data encryption to ensure that data is received only by the intended receiver. Also see OSI model.
Layer six of the ISO reference model; provides standards for restructuring data into the required format, character set, or language.
Layer 6 of the OSI reference model. This layer ensures that information sent by the application layer of one system will be readable by the application layer of another. The presentation layer is also concerned with the data structures used by programs and therefore negotiates data transfer syntax for the application layer. Corresponds roughly with the presentation services layer of the SNA model. See also application layer, data link layer, network layer, physical layer, session layer, and transport layer.
The sixth layer of the OSI reference model. This layer is where the formatting and translation of data is performed so that the application layer can understand what's going on.
Layer 6 in the OSI model; details protocols governing data formats and conversions.
the first layer of an application, which has three layers. Handles user interface - input and output. The presentation layer is always situated on the client computer. Mentioned in: Application Layers. See also: application logic layer, bottom layer. Pictures: Layers of an Application
Layer 6 of the OSI model. The presentation layer is responsible for code conversion, data encryption, and data compression.
A network layer that translates data from the application layer into an intermediary format. This layer also manages security issues by providing such services as data encryption, and compresses data so that fewer bits need to be transferred on the network.
The sixth of seven layers in the OSI model. Its job is to ensure that two computers wanting to communicate establish the ground rules for how they can interoperate.
A networking communication layer that manages the representation of information that application layer entities either communicate or reference in their communication. Two-Task Common (TTC) is an example of presentation layer.
Layer 6 of the seven-layer OSI model. The presentation layer makes sure that data sent to the application layer is in the correct format. If some conversion were required between different data types, it would take place at this layer. Translation and byte reordering is sometimes necessary when different computers (for example, IBM, Apple, NeXT) want to share information.
A networking communication layer that manages the representation of information that application layer entities either communicate or reference in their communication. Example of session layers are Two-Task Common (TTC) and General Inter-ORB Protocol (GIOP).
Layer 6 of the OSI Reference Model. It determines the format and visual presentation of displayed data.
Layer 6 of the OSI reference model, which determines how application information is represented (that is, encoded) while in transit between two end systems. See also OSI reference model.
The presentation layer is the sixth level of the seven layer OSI model. It responds to service requests from the application layer and issues service requests to the session layer.
