A small OSI model tip!

Have you ever got confused with which of the Segment, Packet, Frame and Bit goes with Transport, Network, Data link and Physical layer?? Look no futher. Here'a little trick I came up with recently.

4.Transport______(S)egments
3.Network_______(P)ackets
2.Data Link______(F)rames
1.Physical_______(B)its

Take the first letters and put them in alphabetic order.

Thanks.

That's how I remember

copy run start

The "r" is alphabetically before the "s".
Seems pretty simple, really, but I always find myself double-checking to make sure I don't overwrite something important.

The nuggets say a similar way actually.

think suncream:

SPF 10 (the 10 meaning binary bits!)

I tell the students to think of "copy rust" or "copy ru st" it seems to help
