No, we don't. The OSI reference model keeps getting referenced (hah) in the network courses but it's merely a lip service, nobody's actually taking it seriously

No, we don't. The OSI reference model keeps getting referenced (hah) in the network courses but it's merely a lip service, nobody's actually taking it seriously: just look at how mobile networks bend over in ridiculous ways to support TCP/IP.
- PinguTS 4y agoActually we do e.g. in ISO TC22 SC31, as part of Automotive Ethernet.
- spmurrayzzz 4y agoI don't know if I'd say its universally lip service. Perhaps that's true in some areas of tech, but in my corner of the world building an ISP, practically all of network hardware OEMs I'm exposed to (mostly cisco, but also some juniper, arista, and zyxel) use the OSI model predominantly in their product descriptions and documentation.
