What is the main reason the OSI model was created?

  • A.To create a layered model larger than the DoD model.
  • B.So application developers can change only one layer's protocols at a time.
  • C.So different networks could communicate.
  • D.So Cisco could use the model.

Answer: C

Correct answer: So different networks could communicate.

The OSI reference model was produced by ISO to allow equipment from different manufacturers, running different proprietary protocol stacks, to interoperate. Dividing the problem into seven layers with defined interfaces means each layer can be implemented independently, and a change at one layer need not disturb the others. It is a reference model rather than a protocol suite, and it long predates any single vendor’s use of it.
