Something a bit fun - OSI & Encapsulation Pneumonics

malcybood

Here are a couple of handy Pneumonics for remembering what order the OSI model layers and Data Encapsulation come in. Might not help you but it has helped me have these stick in my head :

OSI

Please do not throw sausage pizza away:

away - Application
pizza - Presentation
sausage - Session
throw - Transport
not - Network
do - Data Link
Please - Physical

Encapsulation
Dirty sick people feel bad

Data - Dirty - Application, Presentation, Session layers
Segments - Sick - Transport layer
Packets - People - Network layer
Frames - Feel - Data Link layer
Bits - Bad - Physical Layer

ok bear with me

i learnt the osi one by making this one up

poor
daddy
never
told
santa to
prep
artillery

and for the tcp one

naughty
indians
travel
alone

and the encapsulation i just remember where the data is for and the rest is easy.

Bits has the leasnt letters in followed by frames, packets and segments.

And remember, the best way to learn the OSI model is to 'understand' it. Once you know how it works, and what the layers do, it will fall into place (order) without mnemonics. Anyway, it's always fun to see what people come up with. To me it seems it's often more difficult to remember the mnemonic than the thing you are actually trying to learn.

I found that remembering which order they came in helped understand the processes as it was more logical as I was learning what each layer does.

Hey as I say it may not stick with everyone but it did for me....

Maybe I should have looked up how to spell mnemonic first though ........oh well!

Haha they are terrible...but hey if they worked

Mine was the boring "all people seem to need data processiong" and for tcp/ip "ants travel in numbers"

Great! I just finished writing it down. Ok, I admit it - I'm a newbie. So I need all the help I can get. Thanks.
