Yes, but why have they moved to implementing OSI protocols? Is
it because these protocols are significantly better than TCP/IP and
ARPA standards, or is it simply European market pressure? If market
pressure, why is that happening? Again, is it because the protocols
are better, or just because they weren't developed by the Americans?
I'm asking honest questions here, not flaming. I know a fair amount
about TCP/IP and not terribly much about OSI, but from the outside,
it sounds like an awful lot of reinvention of the wheel.
