  • Network communication is structured into layers, each performing a specific functions and passes data to the next layer.
  • Layering simplifies network design, helps isolate problems, and allows different technologies to work together. For example:
    • Application layer uses protocols like HTTP, FTP, SMTP.
    • Transport layer uses TCP to ensure reliable communication.
    • Internet layer uses IP to route data.
    • Network access layer handles physical transmission (Ethernet, Wi-Fi).
