Computer Networks Lecture 10: Data Link Layer

What mechanism for error detection involves appending a redundant bit to every data unit to make the total number of 1s in the unit even?

Which sublayer of the data link layer is responsible for hardware addressing mechanism and controlling physical media access?

What is the term used to describe an error where two or more bits in the data unit have changed from 0 to 1 or vice-versa, without necessarily occurring in consecutive bits?

Which data link layer protocol is commonly used for wireless links?

Which error detection mechanism organizes the block of bits in a table and calculates parity check bits for each row and column to not only detect but also correct errors?

What is the responsibility of the data link layer?

What does the data link layer do with packets from the network layer?

Which hardware example illustrates the implementation of the data link layer?

What is the primary function of the data link layer?

How does the data link layer transfer frames on the hardware?

What is the responsibility of the data link layer in a computer network?

How does the data link layer handle datagrams at the adjacent node?

What is the function of framing in the data-link layer?

Give an example of the implementation of the data link layer in hardware.

What is the primary purpose of data link layer protocols in a computer network?

What are the two sub-layers of the data link layer, and what are their respective functions?

Explain the difference between single-bit error and burst error in data transmission.

What is the primary purpose of the Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) mechanism in error detection?

How does the simple parity check mechanism improve error detection?

What types of errors are addressed by the Error Control function of the data link layer, and how are these errors handled?
