A field technician is troubleshooting an intermittent connection between devices situated across two distinct subnets. Diagnostics reveal that intermediate network equipment makes forwarding decisions by inspecting logical IP destination addresses and managing packet fragmentation when encountering path MTU limits. At which layer of the OSI model do logical addressing and packet fragmentation primarily occur?
- Network layerCevap
- BData Link layer
- CTransport layer
- DPhysical layer
Cevap
The Network layer is responsible for logical addressing, path determination across subnets, and handling packet fragmentation.
The Network layer is the correct choice because Layer 3 of the OSI model is responsible for logical addressing (such as IPv4 and IPv6), determining the optimal path for packets across subnets (routing), and fragmenting packets when path MTU limits are exceeded.
