Network Layer:

Network layer is provides the path in which the data packets are transferred from the source to the destination. It also helps in converting the logical or IP address to physical or Media Access Control (MAC) address.

Host:

  • A host is a computer system or any device connected to other system or device in a network to exchange the data.
  • A network host provides required information or data resources, services, applications and many others to other users present in the network.
  • It can be a network node related to the network address.

Datagrams:

  • In networking, a datagram is a transferring unit which is used to transfer the data from a source to the destination and it doesn’t provide guaranteed service.
  • It includes fragmentation process which is defined as the division of the data packet into small one when the data packets are larger than the maximum length of a particular system.

We stated that the service model of a network layer "defines the properties of end-to-end packet transit between sending and receiving sites." When it comes to the Internet's network layer, what is the service model? What guarantees are provided by the Internet's service model in terms of the delivery of datagrams from one host to another?
The service model of a network layer "defines the characteristics of end-to-end transit of packets between sending and receiving hosts," according to us. What is the network layer of the Internet's service model? What guarantees does the Internet's service model make about datagram delivery from host to host?
As we previously noted, a network layer's service model "defines the characteristics of end-to-end packet transit between sending and receiving sites." What is the service model for the network layer of the Internet? What assurances are given by the service model of the Internet for the transmission of datagrams from one host to another?
