The creation of the OSI model eliminated what problematic situation existing in early networks?

Question

What will be an ideal response?

Answer 1

In the early days of networking, different manufacturers made unique types of networks that functioned well. Part of the reason they worked was that every network manufacturer made everything. Back then, a single manufacturer provided everything for a customer when the customer purchased a network solution: all the hardware and all the software in one complete and expensive package. Although these networks worked fine as stand-alone networks, the proprietary nature of the hardware and software made it difficult - to put it mildly - to connect networks of multiple manufacturers. To interconnect networks and therefore improve the networking industry, someone needed to create a guide, a model that described the functions of a network. Using this model, the people who made hardware and software could work together to make networks that worked together well.
