Layer 3 (network) provides the transport layer, being a complex layer that provides connectivity
and selection of the best route for communication between machines that may be located in
networks.
It is responsible for the functions of switching and routing information (logical addressing),
providing the necessary procedures for the exchange of data between the source and the
destination, so it is necessary that you know the topology of the network (how they are nodes
interconnected), in order to determine the most appropriate route. This layer is where routers
work, devices in charge of routing or directing data packets from the source host to the
destination host through the best possible route between them.
