    Data Link Layer (Numerical Problem On Hamming Code, CRC, Bit and Byte Suffering, Protocols)

    The document discusses the data link layer, which performs reliable node-to-node delivery of data by framing packets from the network layer and adding error control bits before passing frames to the physical layer. The data link layer transforms the transmission facility into an error-free line for the network layer by having the sender break data into frames and the receiver send acknowledgements. It also addresses flow control, error control, physical addressing, access control, and issues around fast transmitters and slow receivers.

    Question Answer

    1. Data Link layer (Numerical Problem


    on hamming code, CRC, bit and byte
    suffering, protocols)
    Data link layer performs the most reliable node to node delivery of data. It forms frames
    from the packets that are received from network layer and gives it to physical layer. It
    also synchronizes the information which is to be transmitted over the data. Error
    controlling is easily done. The encoded data are then passed to physical.
    Error detection bits are used by the data link layer. It also corrects the errors. Outgoing
    messages are assembled into frames. Then the system waits for the acknowledgements
    to be received after the transmission. It is reliable to send message.
    The main task of the data link layer is to transform a raw transmission facility into a line
    that appears free of undetected transmission errors to the network layer. It accomplishes
    this task by having the sender break up the input data into data frames(typically a few
    hundred or few thousand bytes) and transmit the frames sequentially. If the service is
    reliable, the receiver confirms correct receipt of each frame by send back
    an acknowledgement frame.

    Functions of Data Link Layer


    1. Framing: Frames are the streams of bits received from the network layer into
    manageable data units. This division of stream of bits is done by Data Link Layer.
    2. Physical Addressing: The Data Link layer adds a header to the frame in order to
    define physical address of the sender or receiver of the frame, if the frames are to be
    distributed to different systems on the network.
    3. Flow Control: A flow control mechanism to avoid a fast transmitter from running a slow
    receiver by buffering the extra bit is provided by flow control. This prevents traffic jam at
    the receiver side.
    4. Error Control: Error control is achieved by adding a trailer at the end of the frame.
    Duplication of frames are also prevented by using this mechanism. Data Link Layers
    adds mechanism to prevent duplication of frames.
    5. Access Control: Protocols of this layer determine which of the devices has control over
    the link at any given time, when two or more devices are connected to the same link.

    Design Issues with Data Link Layer

     The issue that arises in the data link layer(and most of the higher layers as well) is how
    to keep a fast transmitter from drowning a slow receiver in data. Some traffic regulation
    mechanism is often needed to let the transmitter know how much buffer space the
    receiver has at the moment. Frequently, the flow regulation and the error handling are
    integrated.
     Broadcast networks have an additional issue in the data link layer: How to control
    access to the shared channel. A special sublayer of the data link layer, the Medium
    Access Control(MAC) sublayer, deals with this problem.
