What layer does Protocol NLSP belong to in the DOD model? and in the OSI Model? Port#? What does it stand for and what does it do?

A) DOD Model: Internet Layer, OSI Model: Network Layer, Port# 89, Stands for Net Link State Protocol, manages routing in OSI networks.
B) DOD Model: Host-to-Host Layer, OSI Model: Transport Layer, Port# 89, Stands for Network Layer Security Protocol, ensures security at the network layer.
C) DOD Model: Network Access Layer, OSI Model: Data Link Layer, Port# 89, Stands for Net Link State Protocol, handles link-state routing in OSI networks.
D) DOD Model: Application Layer, OSI Model: Application Layer, Port# 89, Stands for Network Layer Security Protocol, supports application-level security.

Final answer:

NLSP stands for NetWare Link Services Protocol and operates at the Internet Layer of the DoD model and the Network Layer of the OSI model, with no designated port number as it is below the transport layer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer to the question - What layer does Protocol NLSP belong to in the DOD model? and in the OSI Model? Port#? What does it stand for and what does it do? - is A) DOD Model: Internet Layer, OSI Model: Network Layer, Port# 89, Stands for Net Link State Protocol, manages routing in OSI networks. NLSP, which stands for NetWare Link Services Protocol, is a routing protocol based on the link-state routing, used in Novell NetWare networks. It operates at the Internet Layer of the Department of Defence (DoD) model, which is equivalent to the Network Layer in the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model. It does not have a designated port number as it operates at a layer that is below the transport layer where port numbers are assigned.
