I'm looking for a design pattern for an ISO 7 layer stack.
Anybody got one?

Is that a C++ language question? In case it isn't, try asking in
'comp.software.patterns'.

Also, as I understand it the OSI stack is a failed thought experiment,
which noone has ever implemented fully. Not in the past thirty or so
years it has "existed".

You understand wrong. I've worked on applications where we've
used it; IIRC, there were several commercial versions available
to choose from. It's (or at least was, when I worked in the
field) widely used in telecoms. Note too that like the Internet
protocols, it's not a monolithic unity, but a collection of
protocols at different levels. Some of which are widely used
within the Internet. And significant parts of the upper levels
have found their way into many of the Internet application
protocols. Although some parts of it are less used (IP and TCP
dominate in the layers 3 and 4), it's hardly what one could call
a "failed" experiment.
