How does information get passed from one layers to the next in the internet model?

Each layer in the sending device adds its own information to the message it receives from the above layer and sends it to the layer below it. At layer 1 the entire package is converted to a form to be transmitted to the receiving device. On the receiving device side, the package is unwrapped layer to layer. Each layer removes data meaningful to it and sends the rest to the above layer and so on. Hope this was helpful By nour el houda

What is the highest layer of the OSI model used by router?

Router works in Network Layer of OSI model


Suppose your network is connected to another network via a router which OSI model layer provides the information necessary to direct data between the two networks?

The Network layer is where the frames of the Data Link layer become packets. The best way to think of the Network layer is as the mailroom clerk of the OSI model. The clerk receives mail and directs it to the appropriate couriers. In similar fashion, the Network layer translates the frames it receives from the Data Link layer into more logical packets which can be routed to other networks (like sending it to a courier). At the Network layer, you can begin to actually communicate across a Network, but the service is called "unreliable" because no connection can be established. Communication over the Network layer is something like throwing a message in a bottle into the sea - you cannot verify that the other person ever reads the message. It should be noted that most of what we call "routing" occurs at the network layer - that is, network traffic is routed from one network to another at this layer, allowing for inter-network (as opposed to intra-network) communication.
