Hi, I am in the process of studying for my ICND1 exam. Maybe some of you may be able this question:
Which area of the OSI model and the TCP/IP stack is most diverse?
a. network layer
b. transport layer
c. application layer
d. data link layer
I am getting two different answers from the study material from the global knowledge self-study.
Thanks in advance

I would vote for Application layer. It exists in both OSI and TCP/IP model.
Basically, you have tons of protocols running in the Application layer. There are the commonly-tested ones like SMTP, HTTP, DNS, SNMP, Telnet, FTP and then the not-so-commonly-tested ones: BitTorrent, Messenger, XBoxLive, BITS, etc...
I think it's a poorly-worded question. What do they mean by diverse? -

The "diverse" threw me off too.
One part of the study material would say application layer and the other part states data link layer.
I was leaning towards the application layer. Thanks for confirming!
It's annoying how of these questions are phrased in a confusing manner. My boss (who is a hardcore networking guy with 10+ years exp.) got one of the questions wrong. It was phrased with similar ambiguity. -
