This is our punishment for violating the osi model. Why should network gear need to know about above the ip layer?

- manv1 4y agoThe OSI model was standardized in 1984. The first TCP RFC came out in 1980, with versions existing in real life before that. The OSI model isn't, and has never been, the be-all end-all of networking models, and it's bizarre to me that people continue to believe that the OSI is the only valid model to follow. Maybe you can explain why you believe that the OSI model is canonical?
- dokem 4y agoWhat other model(s) are you referring to? TCP/IP? that still has identical ip/transport separation so can you explain why it's a good idea to so blantly violate fundamental layers of abstraction?
