What is the primary function of the Network Layer in the OSI model?
  • Step 1: Understand that the OSI model has 7 layers, and the Network Layer is the third one.
  • Step 2: Know that the main job of the Network Layer is to send data from one device to another across different networks.
  • Step 3: Learn that this is done by breaking data into smaller pieces called packets.
  • Step 4: Recognize that the Network Layer uses addresses (like IP addresses) to find the best path for these packets to travel.
  • Step 5: Remember that routing is the process of determining the best path for packets to reach their destination.
