Segment (TCP), Datagram (UDP)
What is Data called at Layer 3 (Network)?
Packet
What is Data called at Layer 2 (Data-Link)?

What is Data called at Layer 1 (Physical)?
Bits
What devices / protocols are found at Layer 1?
Cables, wireless, hubs, access points, media converters

Switches, bridges, MAC addresses
What devices / protocols operate at Layer 3?
Routers, multilayer switches, IPV4, IPV6, ICMP
What devices / protocols operate at Layer 4?
TCP / UDP, WAN accelerators, load balancers, firewalls
What devices / protocols operate at Layer 5?
H323.3, NETBIOS

Three-way handshake to establish session
SYN-SYN / ACK-ACK
Three-way handshake to teardown session
FIN-FIN / ACK-ACK
What is Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS)?
Data forwarding technology that increases the speed and controls the flow of network traffic
Data is directed through a path via labels instead of requiring complex lookups in a routing table at every stop
What is Multipoint Generic Routing Encapsulation (mGRE)?
A tunneling protocol used to encapsulate and route data via a virtual point-to-multipoint connection
