Networking Truth N+1:There exists an N+1 layer to any multi-layer protocol. While often referred to as "The 8th layer in the 7-layer protocol", this is too limiting for a Networking Truth of this magnitude.This layer has a general description of "The Financial and Political Layer". No information can successfully traverse the other protocol layers until requirements of the N+1th layer are satisfied.It is suggested that this Networking Truth be included in the cannonical listing, since it is not adequately represented by any of the other Truths.
