Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Layer 3 is the network layer. This is where we send information between and across networks through the use of routers. Instead of just node-to-node communication, we can now do network-to-network communication. Routers are the workhorse of Layer 3-we couldn’t have Layer 3 without them.

They have IP address information of the source and destination address which is transmitted to the hosts and over the network.
