Layer 3 Network Flashcards
What is layer 3 responsible for ?
Packet addressing
Converting addresses : logical to physical
Source to destination delivery
Routing
True or false
Ip is found in the layer 3 (network)
True
What layer does routing happen on ?
Layer 3 network
What are several functions of network ?
Subnet control
Throttling, which sends out a message saying it’s too busy and things are filling up in my buffers I’m accepting to much data so the other sides need to slow down
Subnet usage accounting
Can keep track of frames
Address mapping
Translate logical addresses into physical addresses
Internet working
Provides logical connection between different networks
Combine various networks to form a larger network
What is Subnet control
Throttling, which sends out a message saying it’s too busy and things are filling up in my buffers I’m accepting to much data so the other sides need to slow down
What is Subnet usage accounting
Can keep track of frames
What is Address mapping
It translates logical addresses into physical addresses
What is logical addressing ?
It combines Large number of networks
It defines dressing scheme to uniquely identify each device on the Internet work
What is packetizing ?
Creates packets up receiving data from upper layers
Packets are created by way of encapsulation
Internet protocol IP defines packet format
What is fragmentation ?
Dividing larger packets into smaller fragments
Fragments can then be easily sent out on physical medium
Summarize the network layer
Layer 3 and it is logical addressing, routing
