-Assists in protocol design, because protocols that operate at a specific layer have defined information that they act upon and a defined interface to the layers above and below.

-Fosters competition because products from different vendors can work together.

-Prevents technology or capability changes in one layer from affecting other layers above and below.

-Provides a common language to describe networking functions and capabilities.
