In computer networking there is a seven layer OSI model and the LLC or logical link control layer is a data communication protocol layer which is the upper sublayer of the second OSI layer known as the data link layer. The main characteristic of the LLC sublayer is that it provides multiplexing mechanisms that allow for a number of different network protocols like IPX, AppleTalk and IP to work over the same network as well as allow them to exist together within a multipoint network.

Difference between media access control and LLC?
* MAC sublayer(802.3): defines how to transmit data on physical layer * LLC sublayer(802.2): responsible for identifying different protocol logically & encapsulate them.
Which sublayer of OSI model does the network adapter card driver operate?
I just read something on this the other day. It'll take more research but I think I remember the literature saying LLC (Logical Link Control) sublayer. Which makes sense. LLC is more involved with communicating with logical addressing and the communication that takes place with the layer above it (layer 3 "Network"). I'm pretty sure this is where the drivers come in. Double check though. I could be wrong. Interesting though. Here's something to the contrary. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_Driver_Interface_Specification
Which sublayer of the data link layer prepares a signal to be transmitted at the physical layer?
MAC
What are the sublayers of the data link layer as defined in the IEEE 802 standards?
Logical Link Control sublayerThe uppermost sublayer is Logical Link Control (LLC). This sublayer multiplexes protocols running atop the Data Link Layer, and optionally provides flow control, acknowledgment, and error notification. The LLC provides addressing and control of the data link. It specifies which mechanisms are to be used for addressing stations over the transmission medium and for controlling the data exchanged between the originator and recipient machines. Media Access Control sublayerThe sublayer below it is Media Access Control (MAC). Sometimes this refers to the sublayer that determines who is allowed to access the media at any one time (usually CSMA/CD). Other times it refers to a frame structure with MAC addresses inside.There are generally two forms of media access control: distributed and centralized. Both of these may be compared to communication between people. In a network made up of people speaking, i.e. a conversation, we look for clues from our fellow talkers to see if any of them appear to be about to speak. If two people speak at the same time, they will back off and begin a long and elaborate game of saying "no, you first".The Media Access Control sublayer also determines where one frame of data ends and the next one starts -- frame synchronization. There are four means of frame synchronization: time based, character counting, byte stuffing and bit stuffing.The time based approach simply puts a specified amount of time between frames. The major drawback of this is that new gaps can be introduced or old gaps can be lost due to external influences.Character counting simply notes the count of remaining characters in the frame's header. This method, however, is easily disturbed if this field gets faulty in some way, thus making it hard to keep up synchronization.Byte stuffing precedes the frame with a special byte sequence such as DLE STX and succeeds it with DLE ETX. Appearances of DLE (byte value 0x10) has to be escaped with another DLE. The start and stop marks are detected at the receiver and removed as well as the inserted DLE characters.Similarly, bit stuffing replaces these start and end marks with flag consisting of a special bit pattern (e.g. a 0, six 1 bits and a 0). Occurrences of this bit pattern in the data to be transmitted is avoided by inserting a bit. To use the example where the flag is 01111110, a 0 is inserted after 5 consecutive 1's in the data stream. The flags and the inserted 0's are removed at the receiving end. This makes for arbitrary long frames and easy synchronization for the recipient. Note that this stuffed bit is added even if the following data bit is 0, which could not be mistaken for a sync sequence, so that the receiver can unambiguously distinguish stuffed bits from normal bits.
What OSI layer is 802.2 LLC Specified at?
layer 2
What Data Link sublayer manages flow control?
LLC (Logical Link Control) sublayer - The LLC provides a common interface and supplies reliability andflow control services.Hope this helps,A. York

What are two primary responsiblity of ethernet mac sublayer?
No, frame delimiting is a primary responsibility of the Logical Link Control sublayer of the Data Link Layer.. Data link layer exists of 2 sublayers; Media Acces control Sublayer (MAC) & Logical Link Control sublayer (LLC)
What acronym is used to reference the data link sublayer that identifies the network layer protocol encapsulated in the frame?
LLC Logical Link Control

What are the sublayers of the Data Link layer are as defined in the IEEE 802 standards?
Logical link control sublayer and media access control sublayer
What are two primary responsibilities of the Ethernet MAC sublayer Choose two?
What are two primary responsibilities of the Ethernet MAC sublayer? (Choose two.)
What are the differences between logical link control and media access control sub layers?
MAC function is framing of packets and LLC functions are protocol multiplexing, flow control, detection, and error control through a retransmission of dropped packets.LLC acts as an interface between MAC and Network Layer.The following definitions are also true:Logical Link Control (LLC). This sublayer is responsible for the data transmission between computers or devices on a network.Media Access Control (MAC). On a network, the network interface card (NIC) has an unique hardware address which identifies a computer or device. The physical address is utilized for the MAC sublayer addressing.
Which is correct LLC or LLC?
LLC
What does the LLC stand for in Indiana LLC?
The LLC in Indiana LLC stands for "Limited Liability Company". LLC companies blend corporate structure with partnership qualities.
Can a LLC invest in its parent LLC?
Yes, a LLC, that is, a LLC that is member of a LLC, could theoretically make a distribution to its parent LLC. Although, where member(s) of the LLC that is a member of the "parent" LLC are also member(s) of the parent LLC violate certain imputed fiduciary duties, the potential arises for unlawful self-dealing to occur.
