What is the Difference between data link error control and transport layer error control in osi model?

Data link error control checks for error in each router and end-system, but transport layer error control checks for error only at the end-systems.


What kind of address scheme is used at data link layer?

Data link layer transforms the physical layer and makes it appear error free. Data link layer is responsible for physical addressing. It has some other functions like error control, flow control and access control.


What layer of the OSI model performs error correction?

Layer 2 - The Data Link Layer Layer 2 of the OSI model provides error-detection capability


IEEE has divided the Transport layer into two sublayers?

No. It is the Data Link layer that IEEE has divided into two sublayers. The Data Link layers are Logical Link Control and Media Access Control.


Suppose transmission channels become virtually error free.Is the data link layer still needed?

The data link layer is still needed for flow control over the transmission channel and for framing the data. In a multiple access medium such as a LAN, the data link layer is required to coordinate access to the shared medium among the multiple users.


Which layer maintain the flow control?

Data Link layer control the flow in OSI Model

Data link Layer


What are two characteristics of the data link layer?

Allows the upper layers to access the media using techniques such as framing. Controls how data is placed onto the media and is received from the media using techniques such as media access control (MAC) and error detection.


According to the OSI model which layer performs parity checking and error checking?

Data Link layer does the parity error checking Thanks, Samaresh


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 is Data link layer?

The Data Link Layer of OSI reference model provides the service of error detection and control to higher layers. It accomplishes this task by having the sender break input data into data frames and transmit sequentially and process acknowledgement frames.It have two sub layers:-1. Logical Link Control sublayer2. Media Access Control sublayer
