Not at all, both of those are applied liberally to all levels of
any stack currently; they actually enclose the whole stack.
Worse they are trying to get in between the existing layers/levels.

This erroneous statement alone shows that you are ill prepared to participate
in this discussion. If you think UDP "sits" on top of IP you are very mistaken.
It is a parallel (at the same level) link/transport protocol.

Moreover, you desired email reply shows arrogant disregard for USENET norms.

Damn, it seems i got things upside down again.

If you think that the link layer, internet layer and transport layer are
all the same layer, then yes. But alas for you, OSI and TCP/IP do not
agree with you.

Well, at least he didn't top-post.

If you think you have a lesson to teach please:

Can you show the erroneous part of the statement explaining us how an
UDP datagram could be *sent* to a network without the IP layer?

Remember *you* wrote they're 'parallel' so they can be used in exchange
of each other, right?

Your not very informed reply shows an arrogrant ignorance for the
Internet RFC or equivalent ISO models.
