This networking component operates in the physical layer of the OSI as it regenerates the signal to be transmitted to some other network.

This field in UDP protocol is used for error checking of the header and data.

This protocol in Point-to-Point network establishes and configures different network layer protocols.

This protocol is used for resolving the confusion arising due to common host name in the form different IP addresses.

It provides timing information that allows the receiver to compensate for variable packet arrival times.
