This website is hosted by Microsoft and provides information on the Open Systems Interconnect (OSI) Model.   The article describes and explains the seven layers of the OSI Model beginning with the lowest layer in the hierarchy (physical) and proceeds to the highest layer (application).  The article is easy to follow because a lot of text is not used and a bulleted list format is incorporated into the article.  The bullets list the functions of each OSI layer.  The article also provides readers and users to provide feedback about the article via a feedback web form that can be submitted.  On the right of the article, Microsoft provides links to related topics and articles.  One thing that would have made the article easier to navigate is if the OSI Layers list at the beginning of the article was linked to the sections describing them – that would have lessened the amount of scrolling.
