  • Domain Name System (DNS):
  • The DNS translates domain names (like www.example.com) into IP addresses that routers and switches can use to route packets.
  • While crucial for user-friendly web navigation, translating IP addresses into domain names is not the primary function of routers.
  • Network Layer (Layer 3) of the OSI Model:
  • The network layer is responsible for the delivery of packets from the source host to the destination host based on their IP addresses.
  • Routers are critical components at this layer, managing the path that data takes to reach its destination.
