The LLC (Logical Link Control) layer in Ethernet serves as a bridge between the data link layer and the network layer, providing an interface for multiple network protocols to operate over the same physical network. It is responsible for framing, addressing, and managing the flow of data, ensuring reliable communication between devices. By offering features like error detection and control, the LLC layer enhances the overall efficiency and reliability of data transmission in Ethernet networks.
Ethernet is a data link layer protocol - layer 2
layer 2
WWW service is work onApplication layer & Ethernet is datalink layer protocol.
How many bits are there in a data link layer ethernet address?
Routers operate at layer 3. LAN switches operate at layer 2. Ethernet hubs operate at layer 1.
Ethernet switch fits on osi physical layer
The Logical Link Control (LLC) sublayer in Ethernet standards is responsible for managing communication between the network layer and the data link layer, providing identification and encapsulation for different network protocols. It enables multiple network protocols to coexist over the same physical medium by using protocol identifiers, allowing for efficient data transmission. Additionally, the LLC sublayer handles error detection and flow control, ensuring reliable communication between devices on the network.
No, they are not the same. A router can connect several Ethernet networks together. Ethernet is the name of a layer 2 protocol.

datalink
Data link layer refers to things that happen within a single network; that's what a switch does. Only a router (or equivalent device, which I would still consider a "router") is able to connect different networks.The different networks may use the same technology (for example, Ethernet and Ethernet), or different technologies (for example, Ethernet and Wi-Fi); a switch is only able to connect parts of a single network that use the same technology (often this will be Ethernet).
They can support multiple higher-layer protocols, and Ethernet 802.3 frames cannot.
