The Layer 3(Network Layer) is associated with IP addressing.Because,It converts the frames into packets and address them to send across the other network through intermediary devices.While transferring across the other network's have to know about the destination IP address and also source IP address's deals with IP address.

What do you mean by ip address?

An "Internet Protocol Address" uniquely identifies a node on the Internet. Some IP address ranges are reserved for LAN use and do not appear on the full Internet WAN, allowing local nodes to actually have the same IP address but not conflict (this increases the number of allowable nodes without having to expand the size of an IP address). The original IP address was defined to be 4 bytes (octets) long, however the Internet eventually outgrew this and an alternate expanded IP address defined to be 6 bytes (octets) was defined to support the new nodes.
