2.3.3. Network Layer

The network layer, layer 3, is the place a ton of activity continues for many networks. The network layer characterizes how data bundles get starting with one point then onto the next on a network and what goes into every parcel. The network layer utilizes distinctive bundle protocols, for example, Internet Protocol (IP) & Internet Protocol Exchange (IPX). These bundle protocols incorporate source and destination directing data. The steering data in every bundle illuminates the network where to send the parcel to achieve its destination and tells the getting PC from where the parcel began.

The network layer is most vital when the network association goes through one or more routers, which are hardware gadgets that look at every parcel and, from their source and destination addresses, send the bundles to their appropriate destination. Over a mind boggling network, for example, the Internet, a bundle may experience ten or more switches before it achieves its destination. On a LAN, a bundle may not experience any switches to get to its destination, or it may experience one or more.

Note that breaking the network layer (otherwise called the packet layer) into a different layer from the physical and data- link layers implies the protocols characterized in this layer can be continued any varieties of the lower layers. Thus, to place this into true terms, an IP parcel can be sent over an Ethernet network, a Token Ring network, or even a serial link that interfaces two PCs. The same remains constant for an IPX parcel:

In the event that both PCs can deal with IPX, and they share the lower-level layers (whatever they may be) in like manner, then the network association can be made.
