    The Physical layer is Physically Challenged and always strives to win the Special Olympics. The Applications layer is always blaming the Transport layer for holding it back, but it needs to eventually face it owns limitations and stop blaming others. The IP layer has achieved a Zen state where it feels completely at one with its tasks and knows that it can do no better and indeed can do no worse.
