In network data model , the records are related to each other by means of a link. A record is collection of fields , each of which contains only one data.
Network data model is just like a normal database model. In network model the data is seen as related to each other by links. Or we can say the relation between the data is represented by links.
In network database model , the records are related to each other through a link. By a link we mean that it is an association between precisely two records.
physical & data link layers
two main early navigational data models were the hierarchical model and the CODASYL model (network model)
In network model of database , all data is related to each other through a link. By a link we mean that it is an association between precisely two records/data . In hierarchical model records are organized as trees rather than arbitrary graphs.
the OSI model
The hierarchical data model organizes data in a tree-like structure with a single parent for each child record. On the other hand, the network data model allows for multiple parent-child relationships, creating a more flexible and complex network of interconnected records. In the hierarchical model, relationships are one-to-many, while in the network model, relationships can be many-to-many.
object-based data model seems look like an entity and attributes.

Physical, Data link and Network layers make the Network Support layers.
