What is layer 8?
- valbaca 4y agoThey must've meant Layer 7 / Application Layer. There is no Layer 8 in OSI model (unless they're talking about a different model)
- kodah 4y agoI did mean Layer 7. I've been calling it Layer 8 for a long time now, lmao. Not sure how that got mixed up and made permanent.
- valbaca 4y agoThere are alternative/extended models out there. Perhaps you ran into one of those?
- kodah 4y agoEntirely possible; I've worked in the intersection of Software Engineer and Systems Engineer most of my career, so that leads me to think maybe I'm prioritizing some of the stuff I learn and that older things I've learned have degraded. I say that mainly because I learned the OSI model very early on in my career.

- __d 4y agoLayer 8 is generally called the Political Layer.
