OSI Model Layer


If a server is indicating that it is accepting connections, via fping (IP address indicating "is alive") is this layer 7 Application in the OSI Model or is this a layer 3 Network?

At What layer in the OSI Model is this?

kind of confused tried Wiki need further breakdown please thanks in advance.


Solution

  • "Accepting connections" might be far-fetched, the system can be responding to ICMP packets, yet not be capable to do anything else.

    It's layer 3, is on the same level as ARP:
