    What is the network layer?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

    The network layer<\/strong> <\/a>is the third layer in the OSI<\/strong> model, which is responsible for transferring data between devices on different networks.\nIn this layer, data is routed based on IP addresses, and network devices such as routers<\/strong> and firewalls<\/strong><\/a> are responsible for sending data to the correct routes. <\/p>\n\n

    In the network layer, tasks such as:<\/p>\n\n
