 <b>Datab> <b>linkb> layer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The <b>datab> <b>linkb> layer is often implemented in software as a "network card driver".
The <b>datab> <b>linkb> layer provides the functional and procedural means to transfer <b>datab> between network entities and might provide the means to detect and possibly correct errors that may occur in the Physical layer.
Other <b>datab> <b>linkb> layer protocols, such as HDLC, are specified to include both sublayers, although some other protocols, such as Cisco HDLC, use HDLC's low-level framing as a MAC layer in combination with a different LLC layer.

 CCNA Study Notes - OSI - <b>Datab> <b>Linkb> Layer
The <b>Datab> <b>Linkb> layer uses a calculated value called the CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) that's placed into the <b>Datab> <b>Linkb> trailer that's added to the message frame before it's sent to the Physical layer.
