The upper layers work on some generalized view of network architecture and are not aware of actual hardware data processing.Hence, the upper layers expect error-free transmission between the systems. Most of the applications would not function expectedly if they receive erroneous data. Applications such as voice and video may not be that affected and with some errors they may still function well. Data-link layer uses some error control mechanism to ensure that frames (data bit streams) are transmitted with certain level of accuracy. But to understand how errors is controlled, it

number of secondary reasons, which have to do with various error conditions that arise as packets are transmitted. The primary reason, as I understand it, is that it is a consequence of the layered design https://www.tutorialspoint.com/data_communication_computer_network/error_detection_and_correction.htm of our communication stack. The link layer, as an abstraction, is not obligated to provide data integrity, and TCP/IP do not restrict themselves to running over the layer 2 protocols that do.TCP and IP were designed together, but not together with the link layer. The number of assumptions that they can make about what is happening below them is fairly restricted, and in practice a single segment or datagram may https://www.quora.com/Why-do-we-do-error-checking-at-both-the-TCP-layer-as-well-as-the-data-link-layer-through-Checksum-and-CRC-respectively be processed by several different devices and link layer protocols as it travels the world to get to its destination. It is very interesting to note that UDP and TCP both use a segment (full message) checksum, but IP provides only a header checksum.

Introduction[edit] Data link layer is layer 2 in OSI model. It is responsible for communications between adjacent network nodes. It handles the data moving https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Communication_Networks/Error_Control,_Flow_Control,_MAC in and out across the physical layer. It also provides a well http://www.techexams.net/forums/network/3881-error-checking-data-link-transport.html defined service to the network layer. Data link layer is divided into two sub layers. The Media Access Control (MAC) and logical Link Control (LLC). Data-Link layer ensures that an initial connection has been set up, divides output data into data frames, and handles the acknowledgements from a data link receiver that the data arrived successfully. It also ensures that incoming data has been received successfully by analyzing bit patterns at special places in the frames. In the following sections data link layer's functions- Error control and Flow control has been discussed. After that MAC layer is explained. Multiple access protocols are explained in the MAC layer section. Error Control[edit] Network error detection and is responsible for transmission of data from one device to another device. The end to end transfer of data from a transmitting application to a receiving application involves many steps, each subject to error. With the error control process, we can be confident that the transmitted and received data are identical. Data can be corrupted during transmission. For reliable communication, error must be detected and corrected. Error control is the process of detecting and correcting both the bit level and packet level errors. Types of Errors Single Bit Error The term single bit error means that only one bit of the data unit was changed from 1 to 0 and 0 to 1. Burst Error In term burst error means that two or more bits in the data unit were changed. Burst error is also called packet level error, where errors like packet loss, duplication, reordering. Error Detection Error detection is the process of detecting the error during the transmission between the sender and the receiver. Types of error detection Parity checking Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) Checksum Redundancy R

Hey, I am confused here, I read the technotes: Data link: "requests retransmission of frames in case an error occurs. Provides error checking by adding a CRC to the frame" Transport: "Provides services such as error checking and flow control" and I read in another post that error checking happens in the Network layer too. Can you guys explain further about error checking please? thanks !

Simply put TCP cares about which packets have made it safely to their destination and which ones need to be retransmitted. UDP, a connectionless transport protocol, on the other hand doesn't give a hoot about what gets where. So that's one kind of error checking... Then there must also be some data integrity check involved. As for the comment re: the datalink layer providing error checking I don't know what was intended but perhaps the datalink layer plays a part in the process by providing a section of the frame that contains a checksum for data integrity while TCP is more concerned with lost/late packets. That's just a guess on my part. I'm still learning myself so I look forward to seeing some further responses.

TCP makes sure the packets got there, and if anything got dropped, retransmits it. Data Link is just concerned with frame integrity, it ensures that nothing got corrupted in transit. Think of TCP's error checking like sending certified mail and the data link error checking like the mail carrier making sure the box hasn't been opened before he hands it over to the owner Quote + Reply to Thread « Previous Thread | Next Thread » Social Networking & Bookmarks Bookmarks Digg del.icio.u
