I was told to describe the OSI layer. And I was given the scenario of there being two devices placed at the same place on two different instances, but with both giving different throughputs. I was told to go over the layers and explain what potential problems in every subsequent layer would contribute to the reduction in date throughputs even though most of the specifications were the same for both the devices in terms of hardware.
