2 Types
Layered Architecture
Peer-to-Peer Processes
Computer Networks Unit I 3
Why Layering
Large number of functions
Manage Easily
Data framing
The stream of bits from network layer is divided into
manageable data units called frames
Physical addressing
Media Access Control (MAC) addressing is used to uniquely
identify hosts at the Data Link layer.
Flow control
refers to a set of procedures used to restrict the amount of data
that the sender can send before waiting for acknowledgment.
Error control
is based on automatic repeat request, which is the retransmission
of data.
Access Control
Which device has control over the line at any given time

Logical Addressing
Packet passes the network boundary MAC alone cannot be used
IP address is used to uniquely identify hosts at the Network
Layer
Routing
Routes the packet to the correct destination
Dialog control
Simplex, Half Duplex, Full Duplex
Synchronization
Translation
Encoding Decoding (Bit streams for transmission)
