For the purposes of clarity, I have wanted to send this information for
quite a while. It is the ISO/OSI network model, and may help to provide a
common ground of terminology and concepts when discussing networks.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

	+--------------------------+
	|    Application layer     |    CAB, Antmail, etc.
	+--------------------------+
	|    Presentation layer    |	(API)
	+--------------------------+
	|    Session Protocol      |	STiK ------------------+
	+--------------------------+	                       |
	|    Transport Protocol    |	TCP, UDP               |
	+--------------------------+	                       |
	|    Network Layer         |	IP, ICMP, IGMP         V
	+--------------------------+	     
	|    Data-Link Layer       |	hardware interface, ARP/RARP*
	+--------------------------+
	|    Physical Layer        |	physical hardware (modem, MIDI)
	+--------------------------+

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
ARP/RARP is the Address Resolution Protocol and the Reverse Address
Resolution Protocol. It simply translates from a network virtual address
into a physical address and vice versa.
