What are the seven OSI model layers in order from Layer 1 to Layer 7?

  • APhysical, Data Link, Network, Transport, Session, Presentation, Application
  • BPhysical, Data Link, Transport, Network, Session, Presentation, Application
  • CPhysical, Network, Data Link, Transport, Session, Presentation, Application
  • DPhysical, Data Link, Network, Transport, Presentation, Session, Application

Why this is the answer

Bottom to top the order is Physical, Data Link, Network, Transport, Session, Presentation, Application (mnemonic: Please Do Not Throw Sausage Pizza Away). The distractors each swap an adjacent pair: Network/Transport (L3/L4), Data Link/Network (L2/L3), and Session/Presentation (L5/L6) — a common ordering mistake.
