The Network layer (Layer 3 of the OSI model) can utilize the connectionless protocol IP (Internet Protocol) to send data packets independently without establishing a connection. This approach is typical for protocols like IP, which provide best-effort delivery rather than guaranteed delivery. The document explains:
“The OSI Network Layer is responsible for logical addressing and routing, and it can utilize connectionless protocols like IP to send packets without requiring a session setup. This layer does not guarantee packet delivery, relying on higher layers for error detection or correction if needed.”
