Well,

----------------------------------------------------------------
"Two key types of application-layer implementations are TCP/IP
applications and OSI applications. TCP/IP applications are protocols,
such as Telnet, File Transfer Protocol (FTP), and Simple Mail Transfer
Protocol (SMTP), that exist in the Internet Protocol suite. OSI
applications are protocols, such as File Transfer Access Management
(FTAM), Virtual Terminal Protocol (VTP), and Common Management
Information Protocol (CMIP), that exist in the OSI suite."

I studied "Open Systems Interconnect (OSI) 7-layer model defined by the
International Standards Organization (ISO)." more than 15 years ago.

It seems that tcp/ip is a  different technology I have never studied.
Quite frustrating.
