Brett Mason, a new colleague with whom you are working at Network Design Consultants, is unsure about some aspects of the OSI model. He has a list of questions for you and asks that you develop a table that he can use as a reference for the answers. Create a table containing two columns and seven rows. Label the left column “Network Function,” and label the right column “OSI Layer.” Enter each of the following functions in its own row under the left column, and then specify the OSI layer that performs that function under the right column. Brett’s questions about functions are as follows:

1. 
   
   
   

   Which layer resizes frames to match the receiving network?

   
   
   
   




2. 
   
   
   

   Which layer performs data compression?

   
   
   
   




3. 
   
   
   

   Which layer ensures data is received in the order it was sent?

   
   
   
   




4. 
   
   
   

   Which layer handles the data-carrying signal?

   
   
   
   




5. 
   
   
   

   Which layer provides file transfer services?

   
   
   
   




6. 
   
   
   

   Which layer enables routing?

   
   
   
   




7. 
   
   
   

   Which layer enables the receiving node to send an acknowledgment?
