No network services above the data link layer are required for these applications.

Flow control can be implemented at the data link layer.

Bridge: a device that connects multiple network segments along the data link layer.

These standards define the physical layer and data link layer of the distribution system.

A network bridge, operating at the data link layer, may interconnect a small number of devices in a home or the office.

The more recent AX.25 publications attempt to better delineate physical and data link layers.

Data link layer implementations may be in software only, simulating a network interface.

This implies that the throughput often excludes data link layer protocol overhead.

FDMA, on the other hand, is an access method in the data link layer.

Besides framing, data link layers also include mechanisms to detect and even recover from transmission errors.

The data link layer does the setup, maintenance and release of data link connections.

While this is an acceptable assumption for many networks, segments may be lost for other reasons, such as poor data link layer transmission quality.

The data link layer and its associated protocols govern the physical interface between the host computer and the network hardware.

The data link layer protocols of the virtual network are said to be tunneled through the larger network when this is the case.

Frame relay is a data link layer protocol, and does not provide logical addresses and routing.

Some approaches utilize both the Network and Data link layer but do not consider the cross layer behaviors.

The data link layer is concerned with local delivery of frames between devices on the same LAN.

Below that is the data link layer, in charge of packet mode statistical multiplexing and frame synchronization.

To alleviate these problems, bridging was created to communicate at the data link layer while isolating the physical layer.

It is based on the CAN data link layer protocol providing a system clock for the scheduling of messages.

However, it is accurate to say that the 1822 protocol incorporates the physical layer, the data link layer, and the network layer.

As per the OSI model Ethernet provides services up to and including the data link layer.

Serial configuration (data link layer)

AX.25 is a data link layer protocol derived from the X.25 protocol suite and designed for use by amateur radio operators.

Functionality of the protocol is similar to that offered by ping but it operates at the data link layer as opposed to the network layer.
