Data link layer
Physical layer protocol
Data link layer protocol
Provide error checking
Doesn’t provide error checking
Provide error correction
Comprehansive framing mechanism
Single ended character is there
Frames can be transmitted over synchronous or asynchronous links
Flag to indicate the start and end of a frame
Used escaped character that is oxco to start and end of the frame
Begining and end o each fram has to be identified
More robust
Less robust
Less robust
Identifies the protocol in the data field of the frame
It has no type field
Provide reliable data transfer field
