....computing, we can try 10 to ascertain the effects these features will have on different protocol layers in both the ISO OSI and TCP IP protocol suites. Mobility of end points raises routing concerns and should largely fall within the purview of the network layer in the ISO OSI model or the IP [39] layer in TCP IP. Problems related to the use of a wireless medium should ideally be handled by the data link layer in the ISO OSI model. In the TCP IP suite of protocols, the link layer for a wireless environment could provide for error correction so that the network and higher layers are not ....
....the link layer may be needed to make the higher layer protocols adapt to the changes in link conditions. 2.6 Network Layer The network layer in the ISO OSI architecture is responsible for routing and flow control. In the Internet environment, and especially so with the Internet Protocol (IP) [39], the network layer provides an addressing mechanism in addition to routing; whereas flow control is largely left to be taken care of by the transport layer. This makes the network layer simpler but places additional burden on the transport layer. With mobile computers, the network layer has an ....
