6.2 - Open Systems Interconnection Reference Model



Created by the ISO (International Organization for Standardization), ISO has worked to develop protocols set to be used by all vendors throughout the world to allow the interconnection of network devices.

This ideology was perpetuated with the intent of ensuring all vendor products and technologies could communicate and interact across international and technical boundaries.

The protocol did not catch on as a standard, but the model of this protocol set, the OSI model, was adopted and is used as an abstract framework to which most operating systems and protocols adhere.
