Probably the funniest technical book ever written was a critique of the OSI, Michael Padlipsky's Elements of Networking Style. Several chapters are available as RFCs 871 to 875:
- RFC 871 A PERSPECTIVE ON THE ARPANET REFERENCE MODEL
- RFC 872 TCP-ON-A-LAN
- RFC 873 THE ILLUSION OF VENDOR SUPPORT
- RFC 874 Low standards: a critique of X.25
- RFC 875 Gateways, Architectures, and Heffalumps
For a different, but no less undignified, view of OSI layers, see Internet Protocol Suite/Signed articles.
