The network layer is also known as packet layer
The network layer is also known as packet layer statement is True.
In the seven-layer OSI model of computer networking, packet strictly refers to a protocol data unit at layer 3, the network layer. The correct term for a data unit at layer 2, the data link layer, is a frame, and at Layer 4, the transport layer, the correct term is segment or datagram.
The International Standards Organization (ISO) developed the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model. It divides network communication into seven layers. Layers 1-4 are considered the lower layers, and mostly concern themselves with moving data around. Layers 5-7, the upper layers, contain application-level data.
The devices that typically operate at the Transport layer are network devices, or gateways. The Transport layer of the TCP/IP model corresponds to the Transport layer (Layer 4) of the OSI model.
