What does Layer 2 (The Data Link layer) do?
- provides the functional and procedural means to transfer data
between network entities and to detect and possibly correct
errors that may occur in the Physical Layer
- Assignees an address to devices.
- procedural means to transfer data between network entities
(At least least two or more devices).
- Local area network architecture, which included
broadcast-capable multiaccess media
- It only has error detection, not flow control.
