Thread: Just need some help >.<

This might seem a bit easy for some of you guys :P But i need to know some disadvantages (or Bad Points) that come with an OSI model? I'm really finding it hard to think of some :S

Efficiency?

There are some comments here, which might be helpful: RFC 3439 - Layering Considered Harmful

Thanks strange, really appreciate it

Because the OSI model is a conceptual representation, whereas the TCP/IP model, which contains 4 broad layers that can be referenced back to the OSI model as an idea is what actually runs on the Internet. But the OSI model is good for referencing types of routers, switches etc to the layers and provides a breakdown.

Also some things with OSI will be proprietary.

Thanks Pyoko But i've got all the information i need now :P Thanks anyway
