The benefits of following the OSI model are as follows: * Any hardware that meets the OSI standard will be able to communicate with any other hardware that also meets the standard * Any software that meets the OSI standard will be able to communicate with any other hardware or software that also meets the standard * Consumers are given a wider choice since hardware/software from any manufacturer will work together * OSI is independent of country, it doesn't matter where the hardware/software is made * OSi is not dependent on the operating system used * The Protocols for OSI are defined at each stage * Any errors that occur are handled in each layer * The different layers can operate automatically Why is it important to have standards for communicating? * To enable devices to communicate together * To allow devices to be guaranteed as reliable * To allow purchasers to know the device will work How does the OSI model assist in the introduction and maintenance of standards? * It is an agreed standard that has world wide recognition * Use of the standard ensures compatibility * Purchasers recognize what the standard means and the guarantees that come with it
