They should stop teaching the OSI model and stick to the DOD TCP/IP model

In the world of computer networking you are constantly hammered about the OSI model and how computer communication fits into that model. But outside of specific legacy uses, nothing runs the OSI suite, everything runs TCP/IP.

    Understanding that other protocols are possible is important. Sure, reality doesn't fit neatly into the OSI model, but it gives you a conceptual idea of everything that goes into a networking stack.

    So does the TCP/IP model and that is what systems actually use.

    Plenty of things don't fit into the TCP/IP model at all. Infiniband, for starters.

    Don't you mean the OSI model? ISO means International Standards Organisation lol

    I don't discount your point but coming from the support side, it'll cause confusion to call it a layer 6 issue than a layer 8 issue. Layer 0 issues won't change at least, especially as long as sales gets in the middle of project planning.
