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.

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).
