An application is experiencing issues with data formatting and code conversion between different systems. Which OSI layer should a network technician investigate to resolve this problem?
Layer 6 - Presentation Layer
Layer 4 - Transport Layer
Layer 7 - Application Layer
Layer 1 - Physical Layer
Layer 6 - Presentation Layer is responsible for the translation, compression, encryption, and formatting of data between systems. It ensures that data from the sending application can be properly understood by the receiving application, despite differences in data representation. Issues with data formatting and code conversion are addressed at this layer. Layer 1 - Physical Layer handles the transmission of raw bitstreams over a physical medium and does not deal with data formatting. Layer 4 - Transport Layer manages end-to-end communication and flow control but not data representation. Layer 7 - Application Layer provides network services to end-user applications but relies on lower layers for data formatting and translation.
