Click For Summary

In the context of Internet Protocol, 'level' refers to the layers of the networking model, such as the OSI model, which categorizes different functions of network communication. Level 1 typically represents the physical layer, dealing with the transmission of raw bitstreams over a physical medium.

Understanding these levels is crucial for grasping how data is transmitted and managed across the internet.
