How to memorize the OSI model

edited October 2011 in Tech & Games
So, if you're learning about/interested in networking, you will come across something called the OSI model. I won't go into details, but you can find all the information you need to know about it by clicking on the following link;

https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/OSI_model

As you can see, it's made up of 7 different layers;

7. Application
6. Presentation
5. Session
4. Transport
3. Network
2. Data-Link
1. Physical

You may have trouble memorizing them as they are, which is why I like to use the following words to help me remember :D

7. All
6. People
5. Say
4. They
3. Never
2. Download
1. Porn

Yes - All people say they never download porn. True story (unless you're a badass totsean, in which case you download porn 24/7), and it actually helped me to remember the layers.

    The words also stack up from least level of abstraction to the most.
