The destination host address
HEADERS: It is a part of an information structure that precedes and identifies the information that follows,such as block of bytes in communication.TRAILERS:It is an information typically occupying several bytes ,at the tail end of a block of transmitted data which may contain a checksum or other error-checking data useful for confirming the accuracy and status of transmission.
Layer 3 of the OSI model. An ICMP header follows the IP header of the IP packet.
insulates network layer protocols from changes in physical equipment makes the connection with the upper layers identifies the source and destination identifies the network layer protocol
IP source and destination address
The Network layer (Layer 3, typically IP) will receive a segment from the Transport layer (Layer 4, typically TCP or UDP), and will add its own header to it to create a packet. The size of the packet will thus always be the size of the segment plus the Network layer header, the same as when the next layer down (the Data Link layer, layer 2, typically Ethernet) encapsulates the packet into a frame for transmission.
- identifies the communicating applications - identifies multiple conversations between the hosts (Source CCNA 1)
The protocol field, in the IP header, identifies what kind of data is in the IP packet - the upper-layer protocol. For example, if the code is 6, that means that the data is a TCP segment.
