TCP/IP model is Limited and incomplete.

Fibrechannel, infiniband, and many RDMA protocols, just to make a few, don't fit in the TCP/IP model, while the OSI model fits them just fine.

How don't they fit?

Neither TCP, UDP, nor IP, is involved.

But they don't run CLNS so the ISO model doesn't fit either.

OSI model != OSI protocols

CLNS is not a pre-requisite for Layer 3.
