List of network protocols (OSI model)

This article is about network protocols organized by OSI model. For network protocols organized by TCP/IP model, see Internet Protocol Suite.

This is a list of network protocols, categorized by their nearest Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model layers. This list is not exclusive to only the OSI protocol family. Many of these protocols are originally based on the Internet Protocol Suite (TCP/IP) and other models and they often do not fit neatly into OSI layers.

Layer 1 (Physical Layer)

Layer 2 (Data Link Layer)

Network Topology

Layer 2.5

Layer 3 (Network Layer)

Layer 3+4 (protocol suites)

Layer 4 (Transport Layer)

Layer 5 (Session Layer)

This layer, presentation Layer and application layer are combined in TCP/IP model.
