OSI Model: Seven Layer Mnemomics for Networking Students
Monday December 6, 2004
| Reference | Students learning networking often have difficulty memorizing the name of each layer of the OSI model. OSI mnemonics are sentences in which each word starts with the same letter as the corresponding OSI model layer. For example, "All People Seem To Need Data Processing" is a common mnemonic when viewing the model top-to-bottom, and "Please Do Not Throw Sausage Pizza Away" is also common in the other direction. What's your favorite OSI model mnemonic?
My favorite phrase to remember OSI model from bottom-up is: “Programmers Dare Not Throw Salty Pretzels Away”.
Good one, Mustafa. Here’s another: Please Do Not Tell Sales People Anything
Late but Great from the Bottom Up:
People don’t Need To See Paula Abdul
“Apples present seeds. Trannies need dat lanky physique.”
Doesn’t make much sense, but works for me because most words include the first couple letters of the layer (including the Link in “Data Link” that most mnemonics leave out).
Please do not throw sausage pizza away!
Heard a good one in my ccna class today: People Desperately Need To See Pamela Anderson
my best nmenomic for learning the osi modes is;PAULA DID NETWORKING TILL SHE PASSED AWAY; LOL
