Chapter: Computer Networks : Data Link Layer

Multiple Access

The upper sublayer is responsible for data link control, and the lower sublayer is responsible for resolving access to the shared media.

Multiple Access:

The upper sublayer is responsible for data link control, and the lower sublayer is responsible for resolving access to the shared media. If the channel is dedicated, we do not need the lower sublayer.

The upper sublayer that is responsible for flow and error control is called the logical link control (LLC) layer; the lower sublayer that is mostly responsible for multiple access resolution is called the media access control (MAC) layer.
