Want this question answered?
an upper-layer, connection-oriented protocol or service
There are many connectionless protocols depending on which layer of the OSI model you are referring to. An example would be UDP for transport, and IP for routing.
Answer: It's a model, not a protocol. The OSI model is a governing model of standards in which protocols are derived or fit into in the case of legacy models. The OSI model was developed by ISO(International Standards Organization). The OSI model encapsulates many popular legacy and current protocols including TCP/IP, IPX/SPX, and NetBIOs derivatives, including Microsoft's NetBEUI. The OSI model also includes specifications that allows communications engineers whos specialties are on different layers of the OSI model to communicate and accelerate delivery of better communications to the end user. So from DSL, modem, satellite to your web browser, the OSI model applies. e
1.The OSI model originally distinguishes between service,interval and protocols. 1.The TCP/IP model doesnt clearly distinguish between service,interval and protocol. 2.The OSI model is a reference model. 2.The TCP/IP model is an implementation of the OSI model. 3.In OSI model,the protocols came after the model was described. 3.In TCP/TP model,the protocols came first,and the model was really just a description of the existing protocols. 4.In OSI model,the protocols are better hidden. 4.In TCP/IP model ,the protocols are not hidden. 5.The OSI model has 7 layers. The TCP/IP model has only 4 layers. 6.The OSI model supports both connectionless and connection-oriented communication in the network layer,but only connection -oriented communication in transport layer. 6.The TCP/IP model supports both connectionless and connection-oriented communication in the transport layer.,giving users the choice.

Offcourse osi..... TCP/IP is an implementation of osi....
This is referred to as Layer 5, the Session Layer.
