Study Notes
Network Layer Introduction
- Layer-3 in the OSI model is responsible for network layer operations.
- Manages host and network addressing, sub-networks, and internetworking.
- Routes packets from source to destination within or outside a subnet.
Layer-3 Functionalities
- Devices working on Network Layer primarily focus on routing.
- Routing tasks include:
- Addressing devices and networks.
- Populating routing tables or static routes.
- Queuing and forwarding data according to quality of service constraints.
- Internetworking between subnets.
- Delivering packets to destination with best efforts.
Network Layer Features
- Provides connection-oriented and connectionless mechanisms.
- Offers quality of service management.
- Enables load balancing and link management.
- Ensures security.
- Facilitates interrelation of different protocols and subnets with various schema.
- Supports different logical network design over physical network design.
- Allows for L3 VPN and tunnels to provide end-to-end dedicated connectivity.
- Internet protocol is a widely respected and deployed Network Layer protocol for end-to-end device communication over the internet.
