Answer for screen readers
The final answer is Layer 3 of the OSI model.
More Information
The OSI Model's Layer 3, the Network Layer, handles routing by forwarding packets based on logical addressing (e.g., IP addresses). This layer determines the best path for data across interconnected networks.
Tips
A common mistake is confusing the Network Layer with other layers, such as the Data Link Layer (Layer 2) which manages physical addressing.
