    dave0212 how did that interview end up? Other than laughing uncontrollably due to wtfness I really don't know how I'd act if a stranger said that to me in a professional setting.

    That might be a good one to say in a bad interview just to see the reaction.

    not strictly OSI but:

    Don't = DATA
    Smoke = SEGMENT
    Pot = PACKET
    For = FRAME
    Breakfast = BITS
    Love this!

    Hahahahaha! Great one.
    Working on CCENT and nearly almost there. Retake in December and pass, then after that, study for ICND2 and work on CCNA Security and look into Microsoft certifications. No previous IT certs.

    All People Seem To Need Data Processing

    Application, Presentation, Session, Transport, Network, Data Link, Physical

    If you recite it enough, you may not even need a mnemonic anymore. I've reached that point with the OSI Model and Planets (My Very Excited Mother Just Served Us Nine Pizzas -- Pluto was still a planet when I was in school).

    I guess I'm the only backwards one. Please Do Not Throw Sausage Pizza Away

    That is the other one I used to use (bottom-up). I couldn't remember what it was. For some reason top-down seems to be easier to remember as a mnemonic.

    This is how I remember how to make crossover cables.

    10/100 Ethernet = University of Miami (Cross the Orange and Green Pairs)

    T1 = University of Florida (Cross the Orange and Blue Pairs)

    This is something I never really forgotten (which probably helps when starting to study for the CCNA) is the OSI model ..

    I thought, why don't we all share how we remember them :P

    So here is my one (top to bottom)

    [Application] All
    [Presentation] Pros
    [Session] Search
    [Transport] Top
    [Network] Notch
    [Data Link] Donut
    [Physical] Places

    The CBT Nugget one is not too bad either (Bottom to Top)

    [Application] Away
    [Presentation] Pizza
    [Session] Sausage
    [Transport] Throw
    [Network] Not
    [Data Link] Do
    [Physical] Please

    I always repeat the bottom-up way for remembering this. Never knew there was on from the top to the bottom so thanks for that

    The All Pro Sports Teams Need Defensive Players is a new one to me. I like it!

    I honestly don't use a mnemonic to memorize the layers. I have beat the layers into my head so much and wrote them down so many times that I just know it cold. But, I will forever remember the mnemonic listed above! Thanks!

    When I taught networking or when I was a dean and has student learning it was always sausage pizza. Then I would have sausage pizzas brought in for the entire class.We would recite the OSI 7 layer model while eating sausage pizza. No one could ever figure out why I had such high success rates in my networking 101 course and almost perfect retention. Students loved the class.
