- The OSI model is useful, but computers today don't have the means to fully use it. When there are less layers, they are easier to keep up. What could go wrong if we didn't have as many layers?arrow_forwardHowever the OSI model requires more layers than are present in the vast majority of current computer systems. Why don't we simplify the amount of layers we're working with? Is there anything you can think of that may go wrong if you use fewer layers?arrow_forwardNevertheless, the OSI model's recommended number of layers is more than what is often used in computer systems. Due to the nature of computing, this is the case. To simplify things, why not use fewer layers? I was wondering what some of the possible negatives may be if fewer layers were used.arrow_forward
- On the other hand, the majority of computer systems do not use as many layers as the OSI model implies they should. If it's at all feasible, try to cut down on the number of layers. Is there a drawback to using a lower number of layers?arrow_forwardThe OSI model contends that, with a few notable exceptions, most computer systems don't really need as many levels as they think they do. If practical, attempt to restrict the number of layers. Are there any disadvantages to using fewer layers?arrow_forwardNevertheless, most contemporary computers do not have enough components to properly implement the OSI model. We might use fewer, simpler layers that require less upkeep. Is there anything that comes to mind that may go wrong if fewer layers are used?arrow_forward
- However, most modern computer systems don't make use of all the levels needed by the OSI model. Why don't we try to shed some of those extra layers? Is there anything that could break if fewer layers are used?arrow_forwardMost current computers lack the components to properly implement the OSI model. We may use simpler, less-maintained layers. What would go wrong if there were fewer layers?arrow_forwardA number of independent background processes are less common than multithreading, which is why it's important to learn how to do both. Explain?arrow_forward
- Yet, most computer systems may be able to use a simplified version of the OSI model with fewer layers. There's no reason not to strip down a little. Does going with fewer layers than usual have any drawbacks?arrow_forwardHowever, the OSI model requires more layers than most computer systems use. Why don't we strive to minimise our layers? Is there anything that may not work if you use less layers?arrow_forwardYet, in contrast to the vast majority of actual computer systems, the OSI model assumes a higher number of levels. The reason for this is inherent in the nature of computing systems. Avoid utilizing as many layers as you can if at all feasible. If we cut down on the overall number of layers, what are some of the possible problems we could encounter?arrow_forward
