Layered protocols offer well-defined interfaces that isolate changes within individual layers, making network protocol design more manageable. They simplify the implementation of complex network protocols. However, a potential disadvantage is the overhead introduced by additional headers and processing time associated with each layer.

What is a reasons for using layered protocols- What is one possible di.docx
- 1. What is a reasons for using layered protocols? What is one possible disadvantage of using layered protocols? Solution Reasons for using Layered protocols: 1. Layering of protocols provides well-defined interfaces between the layers, so that a change in one layer does not affect an adjacent layer. 2. The protocols of a network are highly complicated and designing them in layers make their implementation more feasible. Possible disadvantage of using Layered Protocol: Each layer potentially puts overhead both in terms of information stored in protocol headers and processing time.
