Review:
• Internetworking functions of the 3Network Layer include 'network addressing' and 'best path selection' for traffic.
• 'Network addressing' uses one part to identify the path used by the router and one part for ports or devices on the net.
• 'Routed protocols' carry user traffic, while 'Routing protocols' work between routers to maintain path tables.
• Network discovery for 'Distance vector' involves exchange of routing tables; problems can include 'slower convergence'.
• For 'Link-state', routers calculate the shortest paths to other routers; problems can include 'inconsistent updates'.
• 'Balanced hybrid' routing uses attributes of both link-state and distance vector, applying paths to several protocols.
Network Layer (Path Determination)
• Layer 3 functions to find the best path through the internetwork
• Routing services use network topology information
• Provides best effort end-to-end packet delivery services to its user, the Transport layer
• Sends packets from the source network to the destination network based on IP routing table
• After the router determines which path to use, it can proceed with 'switching' the packet
Network Layer (Communicate Path)
• Addresses represent the path of media connections
• Provide a relay connection that interconnects independent networks
• Consistent end-to-end addressing improves the use of bandwidth by preventing unnecessary broadcasts
