OSI Reference Model: Layer 2 Hardware

In my last article, I introduced the Open System Interconnect (OSI) reference model and discussed it's first layer; the Physical Layer. In this article I will discuss the second layer, the Data Link Layer, from a hardware perspective. The data link layer provides functional and procedural methods of transferring data between two points. There are five general functions which the Data Link layer is responsible for. These functions are: * Logical Link Control * Media Access Control * Data Framing * Addressing * Error Detection Logical Link Control The Logical Link Control (LLC) is usually considered a sublayer of the Data Link layer (DLL), as opposed to a function of the DLL. This LLC sublayer is primarily concerned with multiplexing protocols to be sent over Media Access Control (MAC) sublayer. The LLC does this by splitting up the data to be sent into smaller frames and adding descriptive information to these frames, called headers. Media Access Control Like LLC...

Routers

In the first part of this article series, I talked about some basic networking hardware such as hubs and switches. In this article, I want to continue the discussion of networking hardware by talking about one of the most important networking components; routers. Even if you are new to networking, you have probably heard of routers. Broadband Internet connections, such as those utilizing a cable modem or a DSL modem, almost always require a router. A router's job isn't to provide Internet connectivity though. A router's job is to move packets of data from one network to another. There are actually many different types of routers ranging from simple, inexpensive routers used for home Internet connectivity to the insanely expensive routers used by giant corporations. Regardless of a router’s cost or complexity, routers all work on the same basic principles. That being the case, I'm going to focus my discussion around simple, low budget routers that are typically used to c...
