Network Layer — Layer 3

Peter Boait, Geoff Neville, Ruth Norris et al. · 1988

The Network Layer provides transparent transfer of data between two corresponding network service users (transport entities). The main purpose of the Network Layer is to provide routeing of network service data units (NSDUs) between network service users in communicating end open systems. Routeing may involve the use of intermediate open systems as relays, but this relaying function is invisible, both to the Transport Layer and to the layers above.

Network Layer

Dr Ian F. Akyildiz, Mehmet C. Vuran · 2010

The network layer is one of the most investigated research topics in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Especially, many routing algorithms and protocols have been proposed through the development of WSNs. This chapter describes the challenges for the network layer in WSNs, and the solutions for routing in detail. To provide a consistent discussion on these solutions, the routing protocols are broken down into four groups: (1) data-centric and flat architecture, (2) hierarchical, (3) location based, and (4) QoS based. Some of the protocols that may apply data-centric principles are flooding, gossiping, Sensor Protocols for Information via Negotiation (SPIN), and directed diffusion. Several hierarchical routing protocols have been developed to address the scalability and energy consumption challenges of WSNs. Location-based protocols or geographical routing protocols exploit the location information of each node to provide efficient and scalable routing.

NETWORK LAYER

Truck and Bus Control and Communications Network Committee · 1997

<div class="section abstract"> <div class="htmlview paragraph">This series of SAE Recommended Practices was developed to provide an open interconnect system for on-board electronic systems. It is the intention of these documents to allow electronic devices to communicate with each other by providing a standard architecture. This particular document describes the Network Layer which defines the requirements and services needed for the electronic devices (Network Interconnection ECUs) providing intercommunications between different segments of the SAE J1939 Vehicle Network. It also defines the various types of Network Interconnection ECUs and the functions they provide.</div></div>

<div class="section abstract"> <div class="htmlview paragraph">SAE J1939-31 Network Layer describes the requirements and services for Network Interconnection ECUs (NIECU) that enable electronic control units (ECUs) on a network segment to intercommunicate with other ECUs on different network segments of the vehicle network. This document defines various types of NIECUs. The information in this document applies only to ECUs that are intended to provide networking services. It is not necessary for an ECU to provide any of these services in order to be compliant with the SAE J1939 protocol.</div></div>

Confidential Network Coding: Physical Layer vs. Network Layer

Stefan Pfennig, Elke Franz, Johannes Richter et al. · 2015

In all kind of information exchange, security is essential. One protection goal that has to be enforced is confidentiality. In state-of-the-art protocols, messages are encrypted before they are transmitted to ensure their confidentiality. However, incorporating novel technologies like network coding allows for more efficient solutions. Within this article, we compare different solutions for confidential communication by means of network coding at physical layer and at network layer. We discuss security, efficiency, and computational complexity of these approaches. The results allow to draw conclusions about the choice of a suited communication scheme depending on the system model and the relevant parameters.
