    Study Notes

    Network Layer in the OSI Model

    • The Network Layer corresponds to Layer 3 of the OSI model.

    Responsibilities of the Network Layer

    • The primary responsibility of the Network Layer is to route data between nodes on different networks.

    Logical Addressing in the Network Layer

    • The main function of logical addressing in the Network Layer is to identify devices at the network layer level.
    • Logical addressing enables devices on different networks to communicate with each other.

    Concepts in the Network Layer

    • The concept of routing is fundamental for establishing communication paths in the Network Layer.

    IP Addresses in the OSI Model

    • IP (Internet Protocol) addresses are used for logical addressing in the Network Layer, which corresponds to Layer 3 of the OSI model.
