Explanation

IP addresses operate at the Network layer of the OSI model, which corresponds to the Internet layer in the TCP/IP model. The TCP/IP Internet layer handles logical addressing and routing, which is exactly where IP addresses are used to identify source and destination hosts. The OSI Data Link layer uses MAC addresses (hardware addresses), not IP addresses. The TCP/IP Transport layer handles end-to-end communication using ports. The OSI Physical layer deals with raw bit transmission over physical media.
