OSI Layers

[GeordieSteve]

I've just booked up my N+ exam for next Tursday and I've just remembered my memory is terrible (yea I know, not as bad as y jokes). Has anyone got an easy way to remember the OSI layers, what protocols run on each layer and what network components are used?

All People Seem To Need Data Processing Application, Presentation, Session, Transport, Network, Datalink, Physical. Application layer protocols FTP, HTTP. Session Layer RPC,NFS, SQL. Transport Layer TCP and UDP (TFTP, DNS, SNMP and DHCP all use UDP} Network Layer IP Network Layer - Router. Data Link layer - Bridge,switch,NIC. Physical - Hub, repeater.

What is a "y" joke? Is it at right angles to an "x" joke, and kind of swivelly round in a depthwise sort of way another right angle away from a "z" joke?
