Layer 8…

Easier way is to remember that the ISO model is defunked and you should use the TCP/IP model.
IP is layer 3 and TCP is layer 4.
Please elaborate your nonsensical comment.
ISO is a theoretical model on how things work, suitable for teaching and for reference. In reality, there are only 4 layers and not the finely chiseled concern-separating layers at the bottom.
ISO is an organization. OSI is a model.
Edit: there are also definitely more than four “layers” (standard handoff points).
-
Physical involves the media and transmission format (e.g. EMF, waveform, etc)
-
data link involves multiplexing and addressing on the local segment
-
Network involves beyond-segment addressing
-
Transport involves standard endpoint communication methods (tcp/udp)
Are you implying this is where everything ends?
What about application level multiplexing (sockets)?
I’m not implying anything.
-
The IP suite is not nearly as neatly layered as OSI was and the OSI model doesn’t neatly fit the IP suite since it wasn’t actually designed for IP at all. In the IP suite layers 5 and 6 basically don’t exist in the OSI sense, TCP handles things that are part of both layers 4 and 5 in the model despite being a single protocol, etc. The OSI model is often considered obselete as it just doesn’t actually fit the IP world all that well but it’s been around so long and does have uses in certain situations that it tends to stick around.
Nobody responding to you understands that this is a joke, which kinda boggles the mind
ISO/OSI is a neatly separated model mostly used on theory.
In practice, actual network stacks are often modeled after a simpler model that is called TCP/IP. Which despite the name is not actually TCP specific.
Here’s the general description and correspondence to ISO/OSI:
- Host to network / network access layer: it’s mostly the nic and nic driver. It’s sometimes numbered as 0 because some don’t consider it part of the TCP/IP stack, but simply the nic driver. Corresponds to:
- Physical
- Datalink
- Network layer: Corresponds to: 3. Network
- Transport layer: Corresponds to: 4. Transport
- Application layer: everything that’s part of the application and not the network stack. Corresponds to: 5. Session 6. Presentation 7. Application
Or, you can just not care about how the actual software stack is separated, and continue to use the most complete model, knowing that everyone will understand what you when you say “layer 2/3/4” anyway.
Plus, some could say that the TCP/IP model is equally unfit because the Linux network subsystem doesn’t care about layers.
Edit: I hope the formatting of that table isn’t broken on your client, because it is on mine

TCP/IP is also the name of a model different from OSI. It has 4 layers instead of 7: https://www.hostwinds.com/blog/osi-vs-tcpip-differences-and-similarities
Yes, except if you are in my University, where professors are fossils and knowing OSI is required to pass the CN exam.
Accurate
Application: full of itself; just look at it; leaking out of its constraints.
Presentation: not happy; has to talk to the app.
Session: chillin; don’t start nothin, won’t be nothin.
Transport: ready for whatever comes its way.
Network: acting up as usual.
Data Link: Hidden but watching, well-behaved, compliant.
Physical: draping out of the rackdeleted by creator

Ah yes, the EtherCAT.

thank god I dropped out before going into the real nerd stuff
I thought the easy way were “A Pussy So Tight No Dick Penetrates”?

My professor tried to teach us that one too, but a classmate came up with an unforgettable mnemonic. Very cursed
Mildly NSFW
Please Daddy, Not The Sex Pipe Again
The professor hadn’t heard that one before
Given that the internet is a series of tubes, it’s a better mnemonic since the pipe connection will help you remember it.
