Data link Layer is dived into two: Data Link Control and MA resolution.
LLC: provides one single data link control protocol for all IEEE LANs
MAC: defines the specific access method for each LAN
*MAC Sublayer contains a number of distinct module;
governs the operation of the access method; It also
frames data received from the upper layer and passes
them to the physical layer.
Frame Format contains 7 Fields: Preamble(7bytes), SFD(2bytes), DA(6bytes), SA(6bytes),
PDU(2bytes), Data & Padding(46-1500 bytes) & CRC-32(4bytes.)
Preamble: Alerts the receiving System/input timing.
SFD: warns the station (last 2 bits is 11)
DA: contains the physical address of the destination station to receive the packet
SA: contains the physical address of the sender of the packet.
PDU: defined as a type field or length field.
Data & Padding: carries data encapsulated from the upper-layer protocols
CRC: contains error detection information.
