What is the main responsibility of the Data Link layer?

  • Assembling electrical signals into a recognizable frame format
  • Converting data streams into signals for transmission over the network
  • Transferring datagrams between any two nodes in the network
  • Encapsulating packets into frames and sending them bit-by-bit on the hardware (correct)
