At the network layer, the protocol commonly used to obtain an IP address is the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). DHCP allows devices to request and receive an IP address and other network configuration parameters automatically from a DHCP server. This process involves a series of messages exchanged between the client and server, including DHCP Discover, Offer, Request, and Acknowledgment. By using DHCP, devices can join a network with minimal manual configuration.
It uses ICMP protocol - Internet Control Message Protocol
ARP stands for Address Resolution Protocol, a network layer protocol used to convert an IP address into a physical address, such as an Ethernet address. A host wishing to obtain a physical address broadcasts an ARP request onto the TCP/IP network. The host on the network that has the IP address in the request then replies with its physical hardware address.
Network Control Protocol is uses to identify the Network layer protocol used in the packet
RARP (Reverse Address Resolution Protocol) maps layer 2 addresses to layer 3 addresses. ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) maps layer 3 addresses to layer 2 addresses.
TCP is the protocol of network layer, It is connection oriented protocol. UDP is the protocol of network layer, It is connection less protocol.
The network layer (Internet Layer in TCP/IP model) is the second layer of the TCP/IP model. IP (Internet Protocol), ARP (Address Resolution Protocol), RARP (Reverse Address Resolution Protocol), ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) and IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) are the protocols at this layer. http://www.omnisecu.com/tcpip/internet-layer.htm
The network layer is the layer that is responsible for routing packets on the network. This is the layer in which Internet protocol operates. In the seven layer OSI model, the network layer is the third layer from the bottom.
IP is a layer 3 (network layer) protocol used for routing
ICMP
A network layer refers to one of the actual 7 layers. The network layer protocol is actually the system it uses, possibly the order that the layers are done by?
Network layer address network + Guide to networks pg 137
Answer = ARPMeaning of ARP - "Address Resolution Protocol", is used to map IP Network addresses to the hardware (Media Access Control sub layer) addresses used by the data link protocol. The ARP protocol operates between the network layer and the data link layer in the Open System Interconnection (OSI) model.
