第三章答案（The third chapter answers） The third chapter: data link layer 01, what is the difference between a data link (that is, a logical link) and a link (that is, a physical link)? What is the difference between the circuit is switched on and the data link on the line? Answer: what is called a link is a physical line from one node to the next, and there is no other switching node in the middle. It is only part of a path. Data link: when data is transmitted in addition to a physical line is a must, the transmission must also have the necessary communication protocol to control these data, the implementation of these protocols in hardware and software are attached to the link structure of data link mining. The circuit is switched on, indicating the creation of a physical connection that can transport the bit stream; the data link is switched on means that a connection has been established to transmit data frames. 02, what functions does the link control in the data link layer include? Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the data link layer as a reliable link layer. A: the link control functions in the data link layer are as follows: (1) link management. (2) frame delimitation. (3) flow control. (4) error control. (5) separate the data from the control information. (6) transparent transmission. (7) addressing. Advantages: it can ensure the reliable transmission of data at the link layer; the disadvantages are too complex, difficult to implement, and costly 03, what is the role of network adapters? Which layer does the network adapter work on? Answer: adapters mainly have the following functions: (1) for serial data transmission and conversion of parallel transmission (2) to buffer the data adapter (3) can realize the Ethernet protocol (4) when receiving the error frame automatically discarded without notice to the computer; when receive the correct data through computer interrupt notification and the data delivery network layer. The network adapter operates at t
