    The document discusses the OSI model, which is a theoretical framework for understanding network communication. It divides networking tasks into seven logical layers for easier comprehension and promotes standards. While the OSI model provides advantages like a common language and modularity, its layers do not actually perform functions and industry implementations do not always correspond to the layers. Mnemonics can help remember the seven layer names.
