|

The Network Layer breaks up segments from the Transport layer into smaller chunks called [[Packets]]. The reverse happens on the receiving device (reassembling packets into segments).
|
||||
|
||||
Furthermore the Network Layer also finds the optimal path to travel from origin network to the destination network. This is called routing.

## 2. Data Link Layer
|
||||
The Data Link Layer is responsible for handling the data transfer between two devices on the **same** network. (so a bit like the Network Layer)
|
||||
|
||||
The Data Link Layer also splits up packets into smaller chunks called a frame. The reverse happens on the receiving device (reassembling frames into packets).
|
||||
|
||||
Like the Network Layer the Data Link Layer is also responsible for flow control and error checking. However it only does this for inter-network communications. (Local network)
