Data Link
The role is to transfer frames to packets
the source Layer 2 address of incoming frames
Primary functions provided by Layer 2 data encapsulation include data link layer addressing, and the detection of errors via cyclic redundancy check calculations. An additional function is delimiting groups of bits into frames.

Layer 4 usually uses segments, layer 3 are packets, layer 2 are frames. Layer 4 uses either tcp (SYN and ACKS) and UDP (connectionless) with port numbers
No. Frames are used on the data-link (layer 2) layer. Packets are used at the Network (layer 3) layer.
The Data Link layer is responsible for arranging the transmission of data frames' bits when they are dispatched across the network. It ensures reliable transfer of data frames between directly connected nodes by managing error detection and correction, as well as framing and addressing. This layer operates above the Physical layer, which handles the actual transmission of raw bit streams over the physical medium.
Theoretically Data Link Layer puts packet into frame by adding header and tail to the packet but how is it possible when you take into consideration CCSDS packet definition:"A packet is a block of data with length that can vary between successive packets, ranging from 7 to 65,542 bytes, including the packet header.Packetized data are transmitted via frames, which are fixed-length data blocks. The size of a frame, including frame header and control information, can range up to 2048 bytes."According to this, frame is smaller than packet, so how can you put packet into frame??
Access points operate primarily at the Data Link layer (Layer 2) of the OSI model, where they facilitate wireless communication between devices on a local area network (LAN). They manage the data frames and handle MAC addressing, allowing devices to connect to the network. Additionally, access points can also interact with the Network layer (Layer 3) for IP addressing and routing functions.
Data Link Layer
Frames are encapsulating packets. The data link layer makes framing and provide this service to the layer above layer "the network layer".

The padding needs to make the size of the data section 46 bytes. If the data received from the upper layer is 42 bytes, we need 46 − 42 = 4 bytes of padding.
