-==== OSI Model ====
 A conceptual model of networking based on seven "layers":
-^  Layer  ^  Description  ^
+^ **#** ^  Layer  ^  Description  ^
-| **Application** | Provides networking options (an interface to transmit data) to programs running on the computer. |
+| 7 | **Application** | Provides networking options (an interface to transmit data) to programs running on the computer. |
-| **Presentation** | Translates the data into a standardized format (so the receiving machine can read it); it also handles encryption, compression, or other transformations of the data.|
+| 6 | **Presentation** | Translates the data into a standardized format (so the receiving machine can read it); it also handles encryption, compression, or other transformations of the data.|
-| **Session** | Sets up and maintains a connection with the other computer across the network (connection is unique to this communication). |
+| 5 | **Session** | Sets up and maintains a connection with the other computer across the network (connection is unique to this communication). |
-| **Transport** | Decides on a transport protocol (TCP or UDP) and then divides up the data to be sent over the network (TCP: segments; UDP: datagrams). |
+| 4 | **Transport** | Decides on a transport protocol (TCP or UDP) and then divides up the data to be sent over the network (TCP: segments; UDP: datagrams). |
-| **Network** | [router level] Locates the destination computer via logical addressing (i.e., IP Addresses). |
+| 3 | **Network** | [router level] Locates the destination computer via logical addressing (i.e., IP Addresses). |
-| **Data Link** | [switch level] Identifies the MAC/hardware addresses of the machines on the network (mapping each IP Address to the device's MAC/hardware address). Runs a CRC for data integrity and then presents the data in a suitable format for transmission.|
+| 2 | **Data Link** | [switch level] Identifies the MAC/hardware addresses of the machines on the network (mapping each IP Address to the device's MAC/hardware address). Runs a CRC for data integrity and then presents the data in a suitable format for transmission.|
-| **Physical** | The hardware that communicates with electrical impules (1's and 0's) or light (on and off).|
+| 1 | **Physical** | The hardware that communicates with electrical impules (1's and 0's) or light (on and off).|
 The machine that receives the transmssion does so on Layer 1, then passes the data up the stack to Layer 2, etc.
-==== TCP/IP Model ====
+===== TCP/IP Model =====
-^  Layer  ^  Description  ^

-| **Application** | Provides applications with standardized data exchange via protocols like HTTP, FTP, POP3, SMTP, and SNMP. The payload is the actual application data. |
+| 4 | **Application** | Provides applications with standardized data exchange via protocols like HTTP, FTP, POP3, SMTP, and SNMP. The payload is the actual application data. |
-| **Transport** | Responsible for maintaining end-to-end communications across the network via TCP and UDP protocols. |
+| 3 | **Transport** | Responsible for maintaining end-to-end communications across the network via TCP and UDP protocols. |
-| **Internet** | Deals with packets and connects independent networks to transport the packets across network boundaries via protocols like ICMP. |
+| 2 | **Internet** | Deals with packets and connects independent networks to transport the packets across network boundaries via protocols like ICMP. |
-| **Network Access** | The "physical" or "link" layer; defines the networking methods within the scope of the local network link on which hosts communicate without intervening routers. Protocol: Ethernet. |

   * The TCP/IP model was introduced first (in 1982 by the US DoD) and is the standard upon which modern networking is based.
   * The OSI model was developed later as a more comprehensive guide for learning.
