摘要：A Computer Network is a collection of interconnected and independent computers to provide communication among different users. The software required to operate on this computer network is organized as a set of layers: Physical, Data link, Network, Transport and Application layer. Each layer has distinctive functionalities to do. The protocols at these layers are collectively called as protocols stack. In this paper more focus is given on the issues to be considered in the design of protocols at the network layer and an overall view is given on the existing routing protocols for wired and wireless networks.
