The Bottom Layers In Ethernet and Wi-Fi networks, the data link layer is split into two sublayers. The Logical Link Control (LLC) is an interface to the Media Access Control (MAC) layer.

Data Link Layer The data link layer is responsible for transmitting packets of information across the link between hosts. If the link is shared by many hosts (for example, a LAN) this layer also ...

In the enterprise, data link protocols provide functions such as finding a path and managing parallel paths. In LANs, the most common kind of learning is finding a path through a set of network ...

The Data Link Layer is one of my favorite layers of the OSI Model. Like a father who loves ALL of his children equally, but in different ways, I also love the other layers, but Layer 2 will always ...

A protocol stack is a prescribed hierarchy of software layers, starting from the application layer at the top (the source of the data being sent) to the data link layer at the bottom (transmitting ...

Fig. 3: The ultra Ethernet stack includes transport and network layers, with the transport layer being mandatory. So far, the network layer employs IP with no changes. The data-link and physical ...
