Main Tasks of Network Layer
The network layer, or OSI Layer 3, provides services to allow end devices to
exchange data across the network. To accomplish this end-to-end transport, the
network layer uses four basic processes:
•Addressing end devices --- Already covered
•Encapsulation
•Routing => Will be covered next
•De-encapsulating
