Network Layer

The network layer is a part of the internet's architecture that handles the delivery of data packets across different networks. It helps determine the best path for data to travel from the source to the destination, much like a GPS guiding a car to its destination. This layer manages logical addresses (like IP addresses) and enables communication between devices on separate networks. Overall, it ensures that packets of information get to the right place in a reliable and efficient manner, facilitating seamless connectivity in our digital world.
