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.
The layer that uses a Service Access Point (SAP) is the Data Link layer in the OSI model. SAPs are used to define the interface between the Data Link layer and the Network layer, allowing for communication between different layers of the network stack. They serve as points of access for services provided by one layer to be utilized by another layer.
it works in layer 2
transport layer
Layer 2.
Layer 2 data link layer
Transciever works on the Physical Layer(Layer 1) of the OSI because its basically a repeater or a MAU\ Multi Station Access Unit
It uses data modulation techniques at teh physical layer (layer 1).
at both physical layer 1 and Data Link layer 2
OSI stands for Open system interconnection model. Application layer is the seventh layer in OSI model.
That is considered part of layer 2.That is considered part of layer 2.That is considered part of layer 2.That is considered part of layer 2.
transport layer
Which of the OSI layers handle the following. 1.dividing the transmitted bit stream into frames? Data link layer Which of the OSI layers handle the following: 2.dividing the application data into segments? Transport layer the PDU (Packet Data unit) for layers is as the following - Application, Presentation, and Session layers ==> uses Data - Transport layer ==> uses Segment - Network layer ==> uses Packets - Data link layer ==> uses Frames - Physical layer ==> uses Bits. ....
