Always stuck me as odd when networking classes focused on the OSI model then
went to say this is how it maps to the real world TCP/IP.

I believe that's a little bit of historical revisionism.

This reason the OSI model came about was not to design a clean networking model,
or to extend DECNET, it was solely to stop TCP/IP. It was developed by
governments, organizations and vendors that had failed technically and
competitively.

TCP/IP was developed by the U.S. institutions with government funding, and was
being widely deployed by upstart companies. Other organizations, especially
European ones, wanted to level the playing field by having everyone start from
scratch.

So if DEC developed OSI and AT&T developed UNIX, then how did
all the phone switching networks end up using OSI? There must
be a real story there.

I wish I knew where I put my copy of Martin's books on
networking.
