Which layer of the OSI Model is responsible for routing and forwarding packets?
- Network Layer
- Data Link Layer
- Transport Layer
- Presentation Layer
The Network Layer (Layer 3) of the OSI Model is responsible for routing and forwarding packets. This layer handles logical addressing, routing, and traffic management within a network. It ensures that data packets are properly routed from the source to the destination across different networks, making decisions based on logical addressing information (such as IP addresses). Option 1 is correct because the Network Layer specifically deals with routing functions in the OSI Model.
