The NIC operates on Layer 2 (Data Link Layer) of the OSI Model.
layer 3 , network layer .
layer 4 - transport layer
The network layer. # Physical # Data Link # Network # Transport # Session # Presentation # Application
TCP/IP because the osi model has seven layer but in tcp/ip only four layers and most important is that the tcp/ip model is reduce the function of osi model.
Data link layer
The Open Systems Interconnect or OSI model has seven layers. The layer that is responsible for creating frames is the Data Link layer.
The physical layer of the OSI model is responsible for encoding frames in to the electronic/RF/optical signals of the physical medium and for reading the media and translating back in to usable frames.
in the osi model data link layer is adds source & destination mac address to frames
bits, frames, packets, segments
There are no switches that operate on layer 7 (Application layer) on the OSI Model. Switches are a layer-2 device because they manage and switch frames.
Physical Layer, SONET is the other name used for it
Which of the OSI layers handle the following. 1.dividing the transmitted bit stream into frames? Data link layer Which of the OSI layers handle the following: 2.dividing the application data into segments? Transport layer the PDU (Packet Data unit) for layers is as the following - Application, Presentation, and Session layers ==> uses Data - Transport layer ==> uses Segment - Network layer ==> uses Packets - Data link layer ==> uses Frames - Physical layer ==> uses Bits. ....
The role is to transfer frames to packets
OSI stands for Open system interconnection model. Application layer is the seventh layer in OSI model.
Frames are encapsulating packets. The data link layer makes framing and provide this service to the layer above layer "the network layer".
