Network Layer Explained | IP Addressing, Routing & Packet Forwarding | Computer Networking

Welcome to Module 6: The Network Layer in our Computer Networking course. In this lecture, we explore the Network Layer, the third layer of the OSI model, and understand how data packets travel from one network to another. You will learn about IP addressing, logical addressing, routing, packet forwarding, IPv4, IPv6, routers, subnetting, routing protocols, and the role of the Network Layer in end-to-end communication. This lecture is designed for BSCS students, Computer Science students, networking beginners, and anyone preparing for Computer Networks examinations or networking certifications such as CCNA. 📚 Course: Computer Networking 🎓 Level: BSCS / Beginner 📌 Module: The Network Layer Topics Covered: Introduction to the Network Layer Functions of the Network Layer Logical Addressing and IP Addresses IPv4 and IPv6 Routing and Packet Forwarding Routers and Their Functions Routing Tables Static and Dynamic Routing Routing Protocols Introduction to Subnetting Connectionless and Connection-Oriented Services Network Layer Protocols Role of the Network Layer in the OSI Model Understand how networks communicate with each other and build a strong foundation for advanced topics such as subnetting, routing protocols, and network administration.
