Re: OSI standards
An interesting (and well-written) critique of the OSI is:
"The Elements of Networking Style", M.A.Padlipsky,
Prentice Hall, Inc., Englewood Cliffs, NJ 07632, USA
(1985).
The book compares the 7+ layer OSI model to the 3 layer Arpanet model,
and discusses the +'s and -'s of both.
The author claims to have written "an insistently non-stodgy technical book",
and has succeeded in my opinion. The book transfers a lot of technical and
historical information on inter-computer networking in non-dry well-written
style. It is also a good introduction to this field.
