Advantages of using an OSI reference model

Advantages of using an OSI model include:
  1. Prevents changes in one layer from affecting other layers.
  2. Divides the network communication process into smaller and simpler components, thus aiding components development, design, and troubleshooting.
  3. Allows multiple-vendor development through standardization of network components.
  4. Encourages industry standardization by defining what functions occur at each layer of the model.
  5. Allows various types of hardware and software to communicate

*Reference model: conceptual blueprint of how communications should take place.

*Binding: communication processes that are related to each other are bounded, or grouped together, at a particular layer.

The information you have given here is truly helpful to me. CCNA- It’s a certification program based on routing & switching for starting level network engineers that helps improve your investment in knowledge of networking & increase the value of employer’s network
