This layer is used by your router. It is responsible for packet switching (Each packet can choose fastest possible route on a network).
|
|
|
Internet Protocol operate on this layer, establishing connections between different routers and handling network traffic.

|
IP addresses are unique numbers (37.153.62.136) assigned to every device connected to an IP network. Every packet sent is given an IP address.

Detailed explanation-1: -Network layer, layer 3. The most significant protocol at layer 3 (also called the network layer) is the Internet Protocol, or IP. IP is the standard for routing packets across interconnected networks–hence, the name internet. It is an encapsulating protocol similar to the way Ethernet is an encapsulating protocol.
Detailed explanation-2: -The OSI model describes network activities as having a structure of seven layers, each of which has one or more protocols associated with it. The layers represent data transfer operations common to all types of data transfers among cooperating networks.
