Modularity can be acheived without layering.  The entire
field of OOAD proves this.

Ease of understanding is acheived through accurate
interface description.  Again OO shows this.

Portability can also be acheived through OO approaches.

The classical layering of communications functions
into functional groupings is not a necessary condition
for any of these benefits.
