exchanging of data between interconnected devices
Layer 2 (Data Link Layer) http://compnetworking.about.com/cs/internetworking/g/bldef_bridge.htm
The role is to transfer frames to packets
The OSI model has seven layers whereby each layer has its function. The Data Link Layer is responsible for addressing data messages so that they reach their destination correctly.
The X.25 standard specifies protocols at the Physical, Data Link, and Network Layers of the OSI Model.Broadband Cable functions at both the Physical, and Data Link Layers.ISDN functions at the Physical, Data Link, and Transport Layers.DSL, SONET, and T-Carriers function at the Physical Layer.Frame Relay, and ATM function at the Data Link Layer.
Data link layer
support error detection =)
The data link layer (layer 2) and the physical layer (layer 1) use the constructed frame.
The layer 2 devices use the data link layer addresses.
