What are LLC and MAC sublayers? What are their functions?
LLC & MAC Sublayers are the two sub-divisions of Data link layer (Layer 2) of the OSI model.
- Media Access Control (MAC) sublayer controls device interaction
- Logical Link Control (LLC) sublayer controls LLC sublayer deals with addressing and multiplexing
Which Layer is used to deal with mechanical and electrical specifications?
Physical Layer is used to deal with mechanical and electrical specifications
What are the functions of LLC (Logical Link Control) Sub-Layer?
LLC sublayer is primarily concerned with multiplexing protocols to be sent over MAC sublayer. LLC sublayer does this by splitting up the data to be sent into smaller frames and adding descriptive information to these frames, called headers.
What are the functions of MAC (Media Access Control) Sub-Layer?
Media Access Control Layer controls how a computer on the network gains access to the data and permission to transmit it. It is also responsible for the actual access to the network cable, or communication medium.
