About this document
Overview of Data Link Layer Functions by Elizabeth Odom is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The data link layer has two main tasks: transferring data between network layers of devices and converting the raw bit stream from the physical layer into frames. It consists of two sublayers - the MAC sublayer implements the MAC protocol and handles lower level tasks like framing, while the higher LLC sublayer provides services to the network layer like error detection and flow control. Data link layer protocols assume different levels of complexity, dropping unrealistic assumptions like infinite buffer ca
