The network layer is the third level of the Open Systems Interconnection or the OSI model. The protocols that are implemented at this layer which carry user data include: internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4), Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) and Novell Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX).

It is difficult to generalize about protocols because they vary so greatly in purpose but what properties do application protocols display?

The Application layer uses protocols that are implemented within applications and services. While applications provide people with a way to create messages and Application layer services establish an interface to the network, protocols provide the rules and formats that govern how data is treated.

When connectionless protocols are implemented at the lower layers of the OSI model what are usually used to acknowledge the data receipt and request the retransmission of missing data?

upper-layer connection-oriented protocols


Which OSI layer is responsible for adding a header that includes routing information?

The routing process occurs in the 3rd OSI layer (network layer) routing protocols use network address (IP address in TCP/IP) to chose the correct path to the destination. ps: You can also have routing protocols on other layers sometimes (application layer in p2p routing) but this is something completely different.


Are network functions only associated with one layer of the OSI model?

No, At each layer, protocols perform servers unique to that layer. While performing those services, the protocols also interact with protocols in the layers directly above and below. In addition, at the top of the OSI model, Application layer protocols interact with the software you use. At the bottom, Phsyical layer services act on the networking cables and connectors to issue and receive signals.
