because in the data link layer two routers communitate directly via a physical channel , whereas at the transport layer this physical channel is replaced by the entire subnet. In the data link layer ,it is not necessary for a router to specify which router it wants to talk to each outgoing line uniquely specifies a panicular router . In the transport layer explicit addressing of destinations is required.

What layer of the OSI model does RTP operate?

It is on the Session layer. Layer 5. RTP has no transport mechanism. If you think of SIP communications (set-up and break down of VoIP calls) this is done via RTP packets. RTP is encapsulated within UDP (for transport) and therefore resides at a layer above the transport layer (layer 4).


Which layer of the OSI model supplies services that allow user to interface with the network?

The Seven layers of the OSI model are: Application Presentation Session Transport Network Data-Link Physical I think the answer to your question is the Application layer.


How does the network layer in a connection-oriented packet-switching network differ from the network layer in a connectionless packet switching network?

An upper-layer packet is split into 10 frames, each of which has an 80 percent chance of arriving undamaged. If no error control is done by the data link protocol, how many times must the message be sent on average to get the entire thing through? An connection-oriented service (like TCP) does error checking and requests data to be resend. The packet has several options for error free transport. Connectionless service (think UDP) does not check for undamaged arival. It has a much smaller packet size and is also faster.


Which three layer of the osi model make up the application layer?

The three layers that I could think of are User interface, Client side, and server side.


Which two functions of the OSI model occur at layer 2?
