[nice ppt btw]<br>
<br>
Each and EVERY member of the study design panel should be able to clearly and
unequivocally, definitively answer your question because they put it in
the study design. It did not get there by accident. All members of the panel
are responsible for the document...<br>
Members of the panel discuss (and read) the document and have the opportunity
to clarify anything that they do not understand.<br>
Just occasionally something gets missed ... That is why we have errata and
corrections published (and I know all about those!)<br>
<br>
If it is not an errata the there must be a definitive answer so let’s
just ask the panel to provide it rather than us guessing, perhaps not getting
it in the way that the panel intended and absolutely missing what the
exam setting panel might think. We do NOT want the exam setting panel to
receive a torrent of unwarranted adverse comments. <br>
<br>
As mature sensible professionals we should all be working towards a common set
of understandings that are generously shared (as per this list).<br>
<br>
<br>
[btw – at least a dead dog does not fight you when you stick the cotton
bud in to its ears! Try doing an alive Alaskan malamute! ]<br>

For quite some time now I've been avoiding this KK because I'd rather clean a
dead dog's ears than spend time on the OSI.<br>
<br>
But in the end I had to find the cotton buds and get stuck in, and I think I
have a reasonable overview of the OSI and how TCP/IP maps to it. (even
produced a draft slideshow <<a
href="http://www.vceit.com/slideshows/SD-OSI.ppt">http://www.vceit.com/slideshows/SD-OSI.ppt</a>>
).<br>
<br>
But the second part of KK04 really has me baffled: <i><span style='font-style:
italic'>the relationship of the physical layer to the Transmission Control
Protocol/Internet Protocol model.<br>
</span></i>I know that TCP/IP's Network interface layer maps to OSI's physical
layer (and the data link layer), but for the life of me I can't see how it's
any more significant than any of OSI's or TCP/IP's other layers.<br>
<br>
Can someone suggest why the relationship between the OSI physical layer and
TCP/IP is so significant? <br>
Has this relationship been in the papers? Has this physical relationship
resulted in offspring?<br>
Is Mr OSI going to be on Oprah... or the Jerry Springer show?</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
