    Lightbulb Fill in Layers of OSI Network Model with Linux.

    I'm trying to fill in the OSI Network Model with linux Applications/Daemons etcetera. I could put Telnet in the Application section but what fills the requirements of the other Layers? What applications make the frames available to a physical port?

    Thanks in advance!

    This sounds a lot like a homework question, which are not allowed on the forums, so I will be closing this thread.

    I will say that most of the lower layers of the model tend to be handled by the kernel itself, and not in userspace at all.

    Edit: OP contacted me, and this isn't homework. Reopening.
