I need support with Ethereum Networking. A potential enterprise client is asking about the networking of Ethereum Node Peering. We have given them a lot of information about RLPx protocol and how it rides in Transport Layer being TCP based (Layer 4 of the 7 Layer OSI Model).

However, the question being asked is “Explain/Describe how the connectivity between 2 peers works across each of the 7 layers of the OSI Model”. Is any article or diagram available? We can’t find anything covering this particular question.

  • As the OSI model doesn't apply to anything in the real world apart from the defunct OSI protocol suite, which you aren't using, as you are using TCP/IP, it is difficult to see why you're asking. Or what. – user207421 Jun 10 '20 at 10:14
  • Why is a client asking about this, and why do they care? This is the sort of theoretical question that gets asked in undergraduate networking classes. – halfer Jun 10 '20 at 11:30
