Just saw this comment.

Yes, you are completely right. That's likely also the reason for your confusion regarding OSI, since you appear to compare it to TCP/IP in a rather literal manner.

Obviously TCP/IP is better at describing TCP/IP than OSI, though while OSI also can be used to describe TCP/IP in a sub-optimal manner, TCP/IP cannot be used to describe OSI.

    Uhh, no, not really. That literal comparison was my attempt at explaining to you why the two are not equivalent models since you seemed confused about why I would say that. Normally, I'd just stop at "OSI is a theoretical model that exists but was never practically implemented, TCP/IP is used instead." Because honestly I thought that was fairly self-explanatory. It's kinda 101-level stuff in networking courses at uni.

    I can’t believe people are actually arguing with this guy. I gave up. Try asking him about frames and the media layer.

    Not sure what the point of this kind of troll is.

    No trolling. You "gave up" because you made a stupid comment saying that the TCP/IP model is an implementation of the OSI model. Which is a nonsense claim that any basic course on networking would disabuse you of.

    Also no "arguing". Everyone except you was having a very civil and engaging conversation.

    If anyone's "trolling" here, it's you.

    Side note: rule 2: be nice.
