Question

Let's imagine that one computer on the Internet is communicating with another computer by sending a packet across the network layer. The logical destination address of the packet has been corrupted due to an error that has occurred. Which address should I use for the shipment? When this takes place, how will the first computer learn about it?

Expert Solution

Answer

If the logical destination address of the packet has been corrupted, the first computer may not be able to reach the intended recipient and the packet may be lost. In such cases, the network layer uses the network layer protocol (e.g., Internet Protocol (IP)) to detect the error and handle it appropriately.
