Layer 2 redundancy in a hierarchical network design enhances reliability and availability by providing alternative data paths in case of a failure. This redundancy minimizes downtime and ensures continuous network operation, as traffic can be rerouted through alternate links. It also supports load balancing, improving overall network performance by distributing traffic evenly across multiple paths. Additionally, Layer 2 redundancy allows for easier maintenance and upgrades without disrupting network services.

Transport (OSI)
Flow control and sequencing are primarily supported at the Transport Layer (Layer 4) of the OSI model. Protocols such as Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) implement flow control mechanisms to manage data transmission rates and ensure reliable delivery of packets in the correct order. This ensures that the sender does not overwhelm the receiver and that data is received in the sequence it was sent.
The data link layer is composed of two sublayers: the Logical Link Control (LLC) layer and the Media Access Control (MAC) layer. The LLC manages communication between the network layer and MAC, providing framing, error detection, and flow control, while the MAC layer controls how data packets are placed on and retrieved from the physical medium. It ensures proper access to the shared medium, manages addressing and encapsulation, and handles collision detection and avoidance in network environments. By performing these functions, the data link layer ensures reliable and efficient data transfer over the physical network.
The layer responsible for issuing acknowledgments in the OSI model is the Transport layer, which is the fourth layer. It ensures reliable data transfer through error detection and correction, as well as flow control mechanisms. Protocols like TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) within this layer handle the acknowledgment of received packets to confirm successful delivery.
