network internet layer
-attaches the Ip address of the sender attaches the Ip address of the recipient
linker layer
Attaches the MAC address of the sender and recipient this allows the individual device that needs the data to be identified.
transport layer
Splits data into packets a sequence number is added (1,2,3,e.t.c of x) so that the packet can be reconstructed once received. this is also required for error checking fir lost packets. Happens at the router and uses TCP
