This guide and other X-Pedition documentation refers to the X-Pedition’s Layer-2 (L2), Layer-3 (L3), and Layer-4 (L4) switching and routing. These layers are based on the International Standards Organization (ISO) 7-layer reference model. Here is an example of that model. The X-Pedition operates within the layers that are not shaded. Notice that Layer 2 is divided into an LLC layer and a MAC layer. The X-Pedition operates at the MAC layer but not the LLC layer.

Layer 7	Application
Layer 6	Presentation
Layer 5	Session
Layer 4	TCP/UDP - application
Layer 3	IP/IPX - routing
Layer 2	LLC
Layer 2	MAC - bridging
Layer 1	Physical Interfaces
