The Layers 3 and 4 can be used for Vehicle On-Board Communication in Car2X Communication Applications 11 2013-03-20 - IEEE 802.1 Plenary Meeting - Orlando OSI Layers in Automotive Networks Conclusion(2) Therefore, for a Control Data Communication that occurs in an In- vehicle closed Network, the need of the Layer 2 is justified. On top of that, Layer 3 Routing Processes require more infrastructure (eg. IP stack implementation, software implementation, memory need . .) and costs investments than Layer 2 solutions from an Automotive Perspective For In-vehicle Control Applications which require a very low Latency, a Layer 2 solution is more pragmatic than a Layer 3 solution However, Diagnosis over IP, Car2X and In-Car Wireless Communication Applications need Layer 3 Routing Support 12 2013-03-20 - IEEE 802.1 Plenary Meeting - Orlando OSI Layers in Automotive Networks Thank You for your Attention 13 2013-03-20 - IEEE 802.1 Plenary Meeting - Orlando .
