Name 4 OSI network layer components
Routing: Determines the best path for data to travel from the source to the destination.
Logical Addressing: Uses IP addresses to identify devices on the network.
Packet Forwarding: Moves packets from one network segment to another.
Fragmentation and Reassembly: Breaks down large packets into smaller ones for transmission and reassembles them at the destination.
Refers to a data link layer device designed to forward frames between network segments?
Switch
What is the name of a network layer protocol that specifies the format of packets and addressing scheme in network communications?
IP
