After studying this chapter you will be able to: Identify the role of the Network Layer, as it describes communication from one end device to another end device; Examine the most common Network Layer protocol, Internet Protocol (IP), and its features for providing connectionless and best-effort service;. | OSI Network Layer Network Fundamentals – Chapter 5 Objectives Identify the role of the Network Layer, as it describes communication from one end device to another end device. Examine the most common Network Layer protocol, Internet Protocol (IP), and its features for providing connectionless and best-effort service. Understand the principles used to guide the division or grouping of devices into networks. Understand the hierarchical addressing of devices and how this allows communication between networks. Understand the fundamentals of routes, next hop addresses and packet forwarding to a destination network. Network Layer Protocols and Internet Protocol (IP) Define the basic role of the Network Layer in data networks Network Layer Protocols and Internet Protocol (IP) Identify the basic characteristics and the role of the IPv4 protocol Network Layer Protocols and Internet Protocol (IP) Describe the implications for the use of the IP protocol as it is connectionless Network Layer . | OSI Network Layer Network Fundamentals – Chapter 5 Objectives Identify the role of the Network Layer, as it describes communication from one end device to another end device.
