The following is a 1983 article published on the proceedings of the IEEE, volume 71. This is one of the first published documents related to OSI Layer. You can find the PDF version of this paper here. Now answer the following: a) “The OSI Reference Model has proven to be extremely useful in coordinating different groups working on the different parts of the problem.” What problem is the author talking about and how was it solved? b) What are the elements of the OSI architecture? c) Three types of construction of N connections on top of N-1 connections and two forms of error control are recognized by the OSI model, what are these? Explain briefly. d) What was the approach adopted by SC16? e) “Layers have been chosen to break up the problem into reasonably sized smaller problems that can be considered relatively independently”- Explain briefly the seven layers.
