    Woo, OSI stack. Taking it all the way to level 7 man

    I always find it interesting what a range of 'IT Jobs' there out there. I'be only ever known the 'software deployment/consulting' bit of it. I expect only a few of my colleagues could name all parts of the stack, yet we deal with software integration. Our main requirement for new employees is 'sector knowldege', communication skills and an ability to learn new stuff quickly.

    It's not knowing it for the sake of parroting it, but having a proper understanding of TCP/IP, name resolution, dns, arp, ethernet etc is imo essential to being a good tech, it's central to pretty much everything tech related.
