SD U3O1 KK04
Purposes and functions of the physical layer (Layer 1) of the OSI and the
relationship of the physical layer to the Transmission Control
Protocol/Internet Protocol model

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.

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 <http://www.vceit.com/slideshows/SD-OSI.ppt> ).

But the second part of KK04 really has me baffled: the relationship of the
physical layer to the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol model.
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.

Can someone suggest why the relationship between the OSI physical layer and
TCP/IP is so significant?  
Has this relationship been in the papers?  Has this physical relationship
resulted in offspring?
Is Mr OSI going to be on Oprah... or the Jerry Springer show?
