Working of Network Layer
The network layer will initially receive data from the OSI model’s transport layer as part of the data flow between that layer and other OSI levels. These data packets are handled by the network layer by include their source and destination addresses. Additionally, it incorporates the network protocols for proper transfer to the data-link layer over the network channel.
Network Layer in OSI Model
OSI stands for Open Systems Interconnection. It was developed by the ISO – ‘International Organization for Standardization‘, in the year 1984. It is a 7-layer architecture with each layer having specific functionality to perform. All these 7 layers work collaboratively to transmit the data from one person to another across the globe.
