1.
To perform the control of access to media.
2.
It performs the unique addressing to stations directly connected to LAN.
3.
Detection of error.
What are two primary responsibilities of the Ethernet MAC sublayer? (Choose two.)
In IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs, the Medium Access Control (MAC) sublayer consists of two main components: the MAC Control sublayer and the MAC Data sublayer. The MAC Control sublayer is responsible for managing access to the shared wireless medium and handling frame control, while the MAC Data sublayer is tasked with the encapsulation and transmission of data frames. Together, these components ensure efficient communication and coordination among devices in a wireless network.
MAC sublayer is located at Data link layer.
No, frame delimiting is a primary responsibility of the Logical Link Control sublayer of the Data Link Layer.. Data link layer exists of 2 sublayers; Media Acces control Sublayer (MAC) & Logical Link Control sublayer (LLC)
LLC (Logical Link Control) sublayer - The LLC provides a common interface and supplies reliability andflow control services.Hope this helps,A. York
MAC
* MAC sublayer(802.3): defines how to transmit data on physical layer * LLC sublayer(802.2): responsible for identifying different protocol logically & encapsulate them.
The MAC sublayer is part of Layer 2 - Data Link Layer - but it is more correct to say that the MAC address is the physical address.
mac protocols are medium access protocol. mac is sublayer of data link layer in osi model.it provides addressing and medium access mechanism
MAC is a sublayer of Data layer.
MAC stands for Media Access Control. Is also known as the Physical Address of your NIC (Network Interface Card) and is supposed to be unique. It can be spoofed.
MAC function is framing of packets and LLC functions are protocol multiplexing, flow control, detection, and error control through a retransmission of dropped packets.LLC acts as an interface between MAC and Network Layer.The following definitions are also true:Logical Link Control (LLC). This sublayer is responsible for the data transmission between computers or devices on a network.Media Access Control (MAC). On a network, the network interface card (NIC) has an unique hardware address which identifies a computer or device. The physical address is utilized for the MAC sublayer addressing.
