OSI Model :: essays research papers

To hell with the OSI 7 Layer example Back in the 1980s, when all music sucked and men dressed like fags, a bunch of sissy Europeans got together in a passionate effort to overstandardize computer networking. They created this thing called the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) networking suite. Anyone who has interpreted a CS (Computer Science) or CIS (Computer Information Systems) course knows this they cram this fact down the students throat from day freaking one. It is only when the student enters the real ball do they realise that the OSI seven layer model is a sham. First off, what the hell is any European organization doing dictating standards that have to do with computers or networking? (Well...besides that paradigm geological fault Linux stuff and all that other huge shit) Hello How many bleeding edge computer or networking innovations have we seen come away of the European unpolluted? Are they even participating in this revolution? Part of this is not really directly their fault it probably has something to do with the fact that a stripped of venture capital spent in Europe even goes into high tech most of it goes into high fashion and entertainment instead. No wonder we booger eating Yanks think the Europeans are sissies. Hey, we may be pigs, only when at least we are running the Internet. Nah nah na-na nah. Secondly, the seven layers proposed by OSI are completely out of touch with reality. The defacto networking standard is TCP/IP. TCP/IP is the grandaddy of XNS, IPX/SPX, Banyan, AppleTalk, and a host of other protocols and pre-dates that seven layer thing because it was funded by the largest organization in the world devoted to maintaining Eurocentric socioeconomic domination the US Military. And for some reason, that makes it better. Yeah. And yet this seven layer curse wont go away. Companies still have staffs of Marketing divine artists drawing up elaborate maps of how their protocol maps to the OSI Seven Layer Model. Sham Its a sham I say To hell with the OSI Seven Layer Model To its credit, we have found that there are indeed a few things in this world that actually follow the seven layer model but none of them have anything relevant to do with todays high tech world.
