It's called the OSI Model... it has 7 layers.
1) Physical Layer
2) Data Link Layer
3) Network Layer
4) Transport Layer
5) Session Layer
6) Presentation Layer
7) Application Layer
Network Layer
A PDU (Protocol Data Unit) is defined by which layer it is in. In the physical layer and network layer, it is synonymous with the packet, in the data link layer, it is the frame. In the transport layer, it is a datagram for UDP. A datagram holds one or more PDU's, as it is the basic unit of transferring information via packet switching.

A network host may offer information resources, services, and applications to users or other nodes on the network. A network host is a network node that is assigned a network layer host address. Computers participating in networks that use theInternet Protocol Suite may also be called IP hosts. If you want to host then Myasp.net will be the best option for you.

A network layer refers to one of the actual 7 layers. The network layer protocol is actually the system it uses, possibly the order that the layers are done by?
seven
ICMP belongs to layer 3 - the network layer (of the 7 OSI layers)
network layer
IP operates at layer 3, this is the NETWORK LAYER in the OSI Model. Network+ Guide to Networks Fifth Edition Ch02, pg56, Figure 2-7
TCP operates at Layer 4 which is Transport of the OSI Model!

The network layer is the layer that is responsible for routing packets on the network. This is the layer in which Internet protocol operates. In the seven layer OSI model, the network layer is the third layer from the bottom.
DNS is an application layer protocol. The application layer of the OSI model is the layer closest to the user and provides network services to the applications of the user. Examples of protocols that operate at the application layer are: DNS, FTP, TFTP, SNMP, TELNET, RLOGIN, SMTP, MIME, NFS, FINGER, BOOTP and SMB.
There are 7 layers in the OSI model which are from top to bottom: application layer / presentation layer / session layer / transportation layer / network layer / data link layer / physical layer
Network Layer
Physical, Data link and Network layers make the Network Support layers.
