Master? Hardly. I am paddling in the wading pool of technical knowledge
compared to many people in this fine community.

The reason I don't have trouble dumbing-down IT technicalities for kids
is because I don't actually know much about the technicalities myself.
:-)

In a way that's good, because I have trouble avoiding going overboard
when teaching topics I do know a lot about about.  I'd start teaching
how to use apostrophes and end up lecturing about the history of
apostrophes during the English reformation.

Cheers
Mark

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?
