9 Data Link Layer Flashcards
Data link Layer
Data link layer is responsible to transfer frame from one node to another node.
Data Link Control:
manages error checking and data flow over a network.
Media Access Control
: It is used for source and destination addresses.
services of data link layer: framing
The data link layer at each node needs to encapsulate the datagram in a frame before sending it to the next node.
services of data link layer: flow control
Data-link layer ensures flow control that enables both machine to exchange data on same speed
services of data link layer: error control
In this if the error needs first to be detected. After detection, it needs to be either corrected at the receiver node or discarded and retransmitted by the sending node.
services of data link layer: congestion control
No data loss during the frame transfer
order of addressea: data link layer
MAC: destination-source
IP: source- destonation(no change)
Address Resolution Protocol
The ARP Protocol is one of the auxiliary protocol defined in the network layer because it belongs of network layer protocol, but it maps an IP address to a logical address when network layer sending some data-to-Data link layer.
- to discover the MAC Address associated with a internet layer address .
