2. Data Link Layer – Data Link layer is responsible to transfer data hop by hop (i.e within same LAN, from one device to another device) based on the MAC address. Some of the devices used in Data Link layer are,
3. Network Layer – The network layer is responsible for creating routing table, and based
on routing table, forwarding of the input request. Some of the Devices used in Network Layer are,
Figure: Typical interconnection of Router, Switch, Hub and Bridge 4. Transport Layer – Transport layer is responsible for end-to-end communication (or process-to-process communication). Some of the transport layer devices are,
5. Application Layer – Application layer is the top most layer of TCP/IP Model that provides the interface between the applications and network. Application layer is used exchange messages. Some of the devices used in Application layer are,
What is a layer 4 device?Layer 4 of the OSI Model: Transport Layer provides transparent transfer of data between end users, providing reliable data transfer services to the upper layers. The transport layer controls the reliability of a given link through flow control, segmentation and desegmentation, and error control.
Is a switch a layer 4 device?A network switch is a device that operates at the Data Link layer of the OSI model (Layer 2).
What are the devices in each layer?Network+/Standards/OSI Model/OSI Components. What is Layer 4 Telecom?Layer 4 of the OSI model, also known as the transport layer, manages network traffic between hosts and end systems to ensure complete data transfers. Transport-layer protocols such as TCP, UDP, DCCP, and SCTP are used to control the volume of data, where it is sent, and at what rate.
