This is a technical support/typo error report. My study-mate |
and I have grave misgivings about the accuracy of cards 11a, 11b,
12a, 12b.
Card 11a questions the DOD Network Interface layer.
Card 12a questions the DOD Internet layer.
Both cards 11b & 12b (the flip side) give the same to-the-letter
answer.
I believe this is a typo/mis-printing. However, if the publishing
staff at O'Reilly honestly believes the answer to both of these
different layers is really the same, I would like to know about it
so I can send in an argument.

Cards 11b and 12b are printed exactly the same (previously reported); I |
have read the argument that this is correct; the Network Interface and
Internet layers of the DOD model of the TCP/IP stack have the same
definition, but I have a source detailing the differences between these.
This is on Pages 11 and 12 of the O'Reilly book, TCP/IP Network
Administration for UNIX by Craig Hunt.
The Network Access Layer is the lowest layer, and "the better known protocols
(IP, TCP, UCP, etc.) are all higher-level protocols". The segment on the
Internet Layer emphasizes the fact that the IP protocol is the core of the
Internet Layer, and, on Page 17, the two most importent protocols in the
Transport Layer are TCP and UDP.
I'd think that the O'Reilly authors Michael Moncur and Craig Hunt would agree
that the "B" sides of these cards need to be fixed.

On the back of the Flash Card 12b on the "answer side" is an |
identification and definition of the DOD Internet Layer. The
information provided for an answer is for the DOD NETWORK INTERFACE
LAYER. In fact, it is an exact copy of the answer for card number
11b which is the Network Interface Layer card. Don't you just hate
that?
