That’s likely also the reason for your confusion regarding OSI, since you appear to compare it to TCP/IP in a rather literal manner
Uhh, no, not really. That literal comparison was my attempt at explaining to you why the two are not equivalent models since you seemed confused about why I would say that. Normally, I’d just stop at “OSI is a theoretical model that exists but was never practically implemented, TCP/IP is used instead.” Because honestly I thought that was fairly self-explanatory. It’s kinda 101-level stuff in networking courses at uni.
