Briefly describe the three primary tasks that the Internet layer handles for TCP/IP.

What will be an ideal response?


MTU fragmentation:When a route carries data from one type of network to another, the largest chunk of data that the network can carry, an MTU, can vary. When data moves from a medium that supports a larger MTU to a medium that supports a smaller MTU, that data must be reduced to smaller pieces to match the smaller of the two MTUs involved.
Addressing:This defines the mechanism whereby all network interfaces on a TCP/IP network must be associated with specific, unique bit patterns that identify each interface individually, and also identify the network (or even network locale) to which that interface belongs.
Routing:This defines the mechanism that forwards packets from sender to receiver, in which numerous intermediate relays may be involved in achieving delivery from sender to receiver.
