Would anyone care to venture a sample answer for sample Question B2: "Explain the function of Layer 1 of the OSI model, making reference to how Layer 1 forms the basis for both Ethernet and TCP/IP to work in subsequent layers."<br>
<br>One could just say that layer 1 manages physical connections for data exchange, and Ethernet and TCP/IP could not work without that physical handshaking happening first. Doesn't seem enough for 4 marks.<br><br>(I'm still trying to work out the relevance of the preceding discussion between Sally, Judith and me. How does it help students formulate their answer?)<br>
