The internet layer of the TCP/IP network stack is where the packets are routed between hosts. It operates between devices that have their own logical (IP) addresses, such as computers, routers, modems, or network bridges. It is the layer where the packet finds its way from the sender to the destination. Its most common protocols are IPv4, IPv6, and ICMP.
