Each layer should perform a well-defined function. The function of each layer should be chosen with an eye toward defining internationally standardized protocols. The layer boundaries should be chosen to minimize the information flow across the interface The  number   of  layers  should   be   large   enough   that   distinct functions    need   not  be   thrown together    in the same layer out of necessity and small enough that architecture does not become unmanageble. Feature of OSI Model: Big picture of communication over network is understandable thr...
