This layer is the protocol layer that transfers data between nodes on a network segment across the physical layer. [2] The data link layer provides the functional and procedural means to transfer data between network entities and may also provide the means to detect and possibly correct errors that can occur in the physical layer.
[1] In organic chemistry and biochemistry , a side chain is a chemical group that is attached to a core part of the molecule called the "main chain" or backbone . The side chain is a hydrocarbon branching element of a molecule that is attached to a larger hydrocarbon backbone.
The PDU is passed to layer N−1, where it is known as the service data unit (SDU). At layer N−1 the SDU is concatenated with a header, a footer, or both, producing a layer N−1 PDU. It is then passed to layer N−2. The process continues until reaching the lowermost level, from which the data is transmitted to the receiving device.
Despite the different semantics of layering between the Internet protocol suite and OSI model, the link layer is sometimes described as a combination of the OSI's data link layer (layer 2) and physical layer (layer 1). The link layer is described in RFC 1122 and RFC 1123.
Protocol data units of the OSI model are: [1] The Layer 4: transport layer PDU is the segment or the datagram. The Layer 3: network layer PDU is the packet. The Layer 2: data link layer PDU is the frame. The Layer 1: physical layer PDU is the bit or, more generally, symbol.
This article lists protocols, categorized by the nearest layer in the Open Systems Interconnection model.This list is not exclusive to only the OSI protocol family.Many of these protocols are originally based on the Internet Protocol Suite (TCP/IP) and other models and they often do not fit neatly into OSI layers.
OSI model Layer Protocol data unit (PDU) Function [3]; Host layers 7 Application: Data: High-level protocols such as for resource sharing or remote file access, e.g. HTTP. 6
The Ethernet PMD sublayer is part of the Ethernet physical layer (PHY). The hierarchy is as follows: Data link layer (Layer 2) Logical link control (LLC) sublayer; Medium access control (MAC) sublayer Reconciliation sublayer (RS) – This sublayer processes PHY local/remote fault messages and handles DDR conversion; PHY layer (Layer 1)
