physical layer.
The Physical Layer defines the means of transmitting raw bits rather than logical data packets over a physical link connecting network nodes. The bit stream may be grouped into code words or symbols and converted to a physical signal that is transmitted over a hardware transmission medium. The Physical Layer provides an electrical, mechanical, and procedural interface to the transmission medium. The shapes and properties of the electrical connectors, the frequencies to broadcast on, the modulation scheme to use and similar low-level parameters, are specified here. Within the semantics of the OSI network architecture, the Physical Layer translates logical communications requests from the Data Link Layer into hardware-specific operations to affect transmission or reception of electronic signals.
Network Layer
The Physical Layer
Interfaces used on the system to connect to Network devices reside on Physical layer.
A layered network, or a network layer, is the set up of how data is sent over a network. Each layer has it's own responsibility by either capturing the data or routing it to a computer on the network.
