Data-Link Layer

PreviousIPv6:NextPhysical Layer

Last updated 4 years ago

From amongst the , the Second Layer is the Data-Link Layer.

  • HTTP asks for the Web pages from a Web Server, TCP provides guaranteed delivery through Error recovery feature, Network Layer's IP provides Addressing & Routing feature for Intra-Network connectivity & Data Link-Layer's Ethernet provides Inter-Network Connectivity with the help of Headers & Trailers (encapsulated by Data-Link Layer).

  • Data-Link Layer uses the same over all these different Physical links (within that Ethernet LAN).

  • The most commonly used is Ethernet & are High-Level Data Link Control (HDLC) and Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP).
