Why networks are layered ? What is the advantage of that ?
Answer Posted / zgeorgem
there was a post similar to this but i was not able to find
it...
anyway based on the reply on that post there are 3 reasons
1. When a system is visualized in layers then u are free to
make changes in any one layer and be assured that other
layers are not affected
2. It makes troubleshooting simple
3. Layered models give a general idea of the functions of
the layers giving freedom to vendors to bring in their own
innovation otherwise the whole system can be monopolised by
a single vendor...
