1. Routing: Network layer enables transmission of data over multiple networks by providing routing services. It stores and forwards data packets across different networks using routing protocols, such as RIP, OSPF, BGP etc.
2. Flow control: Network layer makes sure that a sending device does not overwhelm a receiving device by controlling the amount of data that is sent and received. It monitors the data movement and ensures that it meets the requirements of each node on the network.
