networking, the data link layer is layer two of seven and corresponds to the host-to-network layer of the TCP/IP reference model. Its main aim is to reliably transfer data between two adjacent machines whilst efficiently detecting and correcting errors in transmission. Packets from the network layer are packed into frames and transferred to the network layer on another machine. Data link layer protocols respond to the network layer and issue requests to the physical layer. The data link layer in LANs can
the OSI’s layer 2. This is known as the data link layer. The data link layer is responsible for the transfer of data frames from node to node across OSI’s layer one, the physical layer. This allows layers in the upper levels to have transmissions with error checking processes. The data link layer has several responsibilities of its function in the OSI model. The first is link establishment and termination which is where, between two separate nodes, it establishes and terminates the links that connect
to the applications. 6) Presentation: Converts the information. 5) Session: Handles problems which are not communication issues. 4) Transport: Provides end to end communication control. 3) Network: Routes the information in the network. 2) Data Link: Provides error control between adjacent nodes. 1) Physical: Connects the entity to the transmission media. In simple terms, the OSI model defines a networking framework for implementing protocols. Is defines seven levels to accomplish this. Control
computer is given a copy of the TCP/IP program when it gains direct access to the internet. TCP/IP has two layers; the higher layer and the lower layer The higher layer which is the Transmission Control Protocol, maintains the assembling of files or messages into smaller packets when they are delivered over the internet and are then received by a TCP layer on the other computer. The lower layer which is the Internet Protocol, is designed to handle the address part of the individual packets to make
seven different layers and is of course, theoretical. Meaning, this model may not be true in every instance, perhaps it can work without a counter part or perhaps not. The layers of the OSI are comprised of these layers: Physical, Data Link, Network, Transport, Session, Presentation, and Application (InetDaemon, 2015). The Physical Layer is the layer that is responsible for the hardwired connection, this is in charge of the cables and device layouts (Tetz, 2011). Without this layer no devices would
7. How do local area networks (LANs) differ from metropolitan area networks (MANs), wide area networks (WANs), and backbone networks (BNs)? Local Area Network as defined in our textbook is a “group of computers located in the same general area,” (Fitzgerald & Dennis, 2012. p13). LANs is a type of network usually implemented within an office, school or home environment where group of computers are located in proximity with each other or in a small geographic area. Thus, client computers are interconnected
now seems like a good time to learn how the technology works, how it can be deployed, and what issues still need to be addressed. MPLS operates at an OSI Model layer that is generally considered to lie between traditional definitions of Layer 2 (data link layer) and Layer 3 (network layer), and thus is often referred to as a "Layer 2.5" protocol. It was designed to provide a unified data-carrying service for both circuit-based clients and packet-switching clients which provide a datagram service
ATM uses asynchronous time-division multiplexing to encode and transfer data in the form of cells or packets of a fixed size. It is normally used by Internet service providers on their private long-distance networks. It operates at the data link layer (Layer 2 in the OSI model) over either fiber or twisted-pair cable. It uses a connection-oriented model in which a virtual circuit must be established between two endpoints before the actual data exchange occurs. These virtual circuits may be dedicated
are three main essential layers in the OSI model when send a packet, which are the physical layer, data Link layer, Network Layer. When a packet is sent it goes through an Electrical/optical protocol in the physical layer to the data link layer (Switch, Hub). The data link layer determines the data is framed before being transmitted on the medium. After this step, it takes it to the logical network paths, which only happens in the network layer through a Router or a layer 3 Switch which can identify

forward your requested Internet responses back to you. PPP uses the Internet protocol and is designed to handle others. It is sometimes considered a member of the TCP/IP suite of protocols. Relative to the OSI reference model, PPP provides layer 2 (data-link layer) service. Essentially, it packages your computer's TCP/IP packets and forwards them to the server where they can actually be put on the Internet. PPP is a full-duplex protocol that can be used on various physical media, including twisted
network topology and fault tolerance. Protocol Stack : The protocol stack is built up with a few layers and planes, namely application layer, transport layer, network layer, data link layer, physical layer. And the planes are task management plane, mobility management plane and power management plane.

which are systems that talk with other systems. This model has seven layers: the physical layer, the data link layer, the network layer, the transport layer, the session layer, the presentation layer, and the application layer. From this information, we discover that the OSI model is used only for its model (the 7 layers) and not as a network architecture since it doesn’t specify the exact services and protocols to be used in each layer. Next, the writer goes over the second type of network architecture
Network Topologies Mesh Topology provides each node in a network with a dedicated connection to every other node. Advantages: Improves reliability through redundancy and fault tolerance - the ability of the network to continue operation despite the presence of hardware or software faults. Mesh networks work well when the nodes are located at scattered points that do not lie near a common line. The Internet was deliberately designed using a mesh topology to allow sites to communicate
Number of channels to link a particular number of channel is decided by the formula n (n-1)/2 Where ‘n’ is the number of devices to be connected. Tree Topology: In this topology, there is a device which called root, and all the other devices are connected on different levels
subnetting basics" September 23, 2011) Before TCP/IP came along machines had to be compatible at a physical level in order for them to pass messages between each other. Now the physical level has been abstracted and messages travel at a logical layer. The physical layer is still present but it is now a solved problem space allowing developers to focus more on the applications. This has become the real success story of TCP/IP.

Abstract The Physical Layer is the lowest layer of the Open Source Interconnect Model (OSI). It is the layer that deals with all the measurable, physical entities associated with the network. At this layer it is specified how much bandwidth (Baseband or Broadband) will be used in the transmission of data on the network. This layer also includes the physical topology (physical lay out) of the network such as: Bus, Star, Ring or Mesh. The Physical Layer includes these devices: Network Interface
specific layers. Each layer performs specific tasks relative to achieving communication. This paper will address the layers by explaining what they do individually and how they work together as a whole. Each OSI layer labels the piece of data that it processes before passing it on to the next level. The next layer could be either above the current layer of below the current layer depending on whether the computer is receiving or sending data. For purposes of this paper, the layers will be
Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) The purpose of formulating the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) had been to integrate the fragmented theory and research on individual acceptance of information technology into a unified theoretical model that captures the essential elements of eight previously established models (Venkatesh et al., 2003). To do so the eight specific models of the determinants of intention and usage of information technology were
a seven layered model. The seven layers are : Physical Layer The physical layer defines the electrical, mechanical, procedural, and functional specifications for activating, maintaining, and deactivating the physical link between end systems. Such characteristics as voltage levels, timing of voltage changes, physical data rates, maximum transmission distances, and physical connectors, are defined by physical layer specifications. Data Link Layer The data-link layer provides error-free transfer of
