Data Link Layer

## Encounter (E)

• Key Takeaways:
  • Serves as the bridge between physical and network layers, enabling communication between devices on the same network.
  • Manages error detection and correction to improve data integrity.

## Note (N)

• The Data Link Layer is critical for local network device communication and data integrity by performing both framing and error management functions.

## Connect (C)

• Related Notes:
  • OSI Model
  • Networking Protocols
