Hi Andrew. I just wanted to eliminate the very real possibility that I had missed a blindingly obvious reason for the key knowledge being included. From your reply, it seems that you can't see its relevance either.<br>
<br>In that case, I'll escalate the enquiry and report back...<br><br>Cheers<br>Mark<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 9 March 2011 20:18, Andrew Shortell <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:shortell@get2me.net">shortell@get2me.net</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>
[nice ppt btw]<br>
<br>
Each and EVERY member of the study design panel should be able to clearly and unequivocally, definitively answer your question because they put it in the study design. It did not get there by accident. All members of the panel are responsible for the document...<br>
Members of the panel discuss (and read) the document and have the opportunity to clarify anything that they do not understand.<br>
Just occasionally something gets missed ... That is why we have errata and corrections published (and I know all about those!)<br>
<br>
If it is not an errata the there must be a definitive answer so let’s just ask the panel to provide it rather than us guessing, perhaps not getting it in the way that the panel intended and absolutely missing what the exam setting panel might think. We do NOT want the exam setting panel to receive a torrent of unwarranted adverse comments. <br>
<br>
As mature sensible professionals we should all be working towards a common set of understandings that are generously shared (as per this list).<br>
<br>

[btw – at least a dead dog does not fight you when you stick the cotton bud in to its ears! Try doing an alive Alaskan malamute! ]<br>

Purposes and functions of the physical layer (Layer 1) of the OSI and the relationship of the physical layer to the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol model<br>

For quite some time now I've been avoiding this KK because I'd rather clean a dead dog's ears than spend time on the OSI.<br>
<br></div>
But in the end I had to find the cotton buds and get stuck in, and I think I have a reasonable overview of the OSI and how TCP/IP maps to it. (even produced a draft slideshow <<a href="http://www.vceit.com/slideshows/SD-OSI.ppt" target="_blank">http://www.vceit.com/slideshows/SD-OSI.ppt</a>> ).<div class="im">
<br>
<br>
But the second part of KK04 really has me baffled: <i>the relationship of the physical layer to the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol model.<br>
</i>I know that TCP/IP's Network interface layer maps to OSI's physical layer (and the data link layer), but for the life of me I can't see how it's any more significant than any of OSI's or TCP/IP's other layers.<br>
<br>
Can someone suggest why the relationship between the OSI physical layer and TCP/IP is so significant? <br>
Has this relationship been in the papers? Has this physical relationship resulted in offspring?<br>
Is Mr OSI going to be on Oprah... or the Jerry Springer show?<br>
