Yes, half an hour understanding the OSI model should be a prerequisite for 
anyone dealing with networking and go a long way to building an 
understanding of how each layer is used.

I worked with a consultant when I was starting out who added three more 
layers to the model:

POLITICS
FINANCE
RELIGION

to make the OSI model properly match business cases.
