  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If a post is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

We’ve also had UDP this whole time

Yup. Quic, for example, layers on UDP instead of TCP. It’s still an IP based protocol. But then you can also get things like FCoE which don’t even use TCP/UDP. Or even ATM which uses its own frame structure. There’s plenty of reasons to need to understand the OSI model.

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 1 points 3 weeks ago

The "TCP/IP model" is a common but informal name for what is probably more properly termed the "Internet protocol suite". UDP is included.

I'm actually not sure where QUIC fits in though. Wikipedia's pages on both the IP suite and the OSI model say it's on the transport layer of the IP suite, and layer 4 of OSI, but so is UDP. So I guess it's another example of how the OSI model is more of a theoretical idea than something that represents reality?
