Open systems architecture may be implemented using the [[OSI Model]] as a guide while designing the [[system]] to meet performance requirements.

== Examples of independent alterations ==

* Converting from wire to optical fibers at a [[physical layer]] without affecting the [[data link layer]] or the [[network layer]] except to provide more [[throughput|traffic capacity]]

* Altering the operational protocols at the [[telecommunications network|network]] level without altering the physical layer
