Study Notes
Network Access Layer (OSI Model)
- Provides services to allow data to be transmitted between devices on the same network
- Routes data between devices on different networks
- Defines how devices access the network and how data is framed
LLC Sublayer (OSI Model)
- Provides error-checking and correction capabilities
- Manages multiplexing, allowing multiple devices to share the same network
- Establishes and terminates connections between devices
MAC Sublayer (OSI Model)
- Manages access to the network, ensuring devices take turns transmitting data
- Provides addressing and routing functions at the data link layer
- Converts logical addresses into physical addresses
Ethernet Frame Components
- Padding field: Ensures that the minimum frame size is met, adding extra bytes if necessary
- CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check): Verifies the integrity of the data by detecting errors during transmission
