D seems off, IETF doesn't exclusively maintain OSI.

Wait, I thought OSI was more complex than TCP/IP?
RO

A is true, OSI was an alternative to SNA.

Totally agree, A is spot on!
JO

B is misleading, OSI protocols are still referenced.

I vaguely recall that the IETF is involved with TCP/IP, but I don't think they exclusively maintain the OSI model, so D seems off to me.
AR

I practiced a question similar to this, and I think the OSI model is actually more complex than TCP/IP, which makes me doubt C.
LO

I'm not so sure about B; I feel like OSI protocols are still referenced even with TCP/IP being dominant.

I remember studying that the OSI model was indeed created as an alternative to IBM's SNA, so I think A might be the right choice.
QU

The OSI model is more complex than TCP/IP, so C is definitely not correct. I'm confident A is the right choice here.

Option B can't be right since OSI protocols are still used, even if TCP/IP is more dominant. I'm leaning towards A as the best answer.

I'm a bit confused on the relationship between OSI and TCP/IP. I'll need to review my notes to make sure I have the details right.

The OSI model was developed as an open standard, so I think option A is the correct answer. TCP/IP ended up being more widely adopted, but the OSI model is still relevant.

This question seems straightforward, but I want to make sure I understand the key points about the OSI model before answering.

This question is like asking which came first, the chicken or the egg? OSI and TCP/IP have a long and tangled history.

I see your point, but I still think A) makes more sense because OSI was indeed developed as an alternative to IBM's model.
KR

C) OSI model is much simpler? I don't think so, it's way more complex with all those layers!

GA

I disagree, I believe the answer is C) OSI model is much simpler than TCP/IP.
DE

I think the answer is A) OSI was developed as an alternative, open standard to IBMs SNA model.
RO

A) Definitely true! OSI was developed to provide an open and standardized alternative to the proprietary SNA model.
