第三章答案（Chapter iii answer） Chapter 3: data link layer 1. What is the difference between data link (i.e. logical link) and link (i.e. physical link)? What is the difference between a circuit and a data link? A: a link is a physical route from one node to the next, and there is no other exchange node in the middle. It is only a component of a path. Data link: at the time of data transmission in addition to must be a physical link, there must be some necessary to control the transmission of the data communication protocol, the implementation of hardware and software of the agreements are attached to the link form is adopted on the data link. The circuit is switched on indicates that a physical connection is established to transmit a bit stream; The data link is connected to a data link layer that can transmit data frames. 02. What are the functions of link control in the data link layer? Try to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the data link layer to make a reliable link layer. Answer: link control function in data link layer is: (1) link management. (2) frame demarcation. (3) flow control. (4) error control. (5) separate data from control information. (6) transparent transmission. (7) addressing. Advantages: able to ensure reliable transmission of data in link layer; Disadvantages: too complicated, can be troublesome, costly 03. What is the role of the network adapter? Which layer does the network adapter work on? Answer: the adapter mainly has the following functions: (1) for serial data transmission, and the conversion of parallel transmission (2) the data cache (3) adapter can realize Ethernet protocol (4) when received wrong frame automatically discarded computer without notice; When the correct data is received, the computer is interrupted and the data is delivered to the network layer. Network adapters work on the data link layer. The three basic problems of data link layer must be solved. Answer: encapsulated into a frame or frame and bound, it refers
