Line 70: ==Link layer== {{main article\|Link layer}} GNSS57 The protocols of the link layer operate within the scope of the local network connection to which a host is attached. This regime is called the ''link'' in TCP/IP parlance and is the lowest component layer of the suite. The link includes all hosts accessible without traversing a router. The size of the link is therefore determined by the networking hardware design. In principle, TCP/IP is designed to be hardware independent and may be implemented on top of virtually any link-layer technology. This includes not only hardware implementations but also virtual link layers such as [[virtual private network]]s and [[tunneling protocol\|networking tunnels]].
