Hey all, I was wondering how many of you will be attending this? OSI Days 2011 | November 20-22, 2010 | NIMHANS Convention Center, Banglore Read a full page ad on LFY. Apparently it happens every year. Has anyone attended the past conferences?

Can anybody suggest me why OSI reference model is not referred , whole TCP/IP is much prefered in todays networking. And if we have IPv4, IPv6 then where is IPv5? regards SD
