Each physical PDU carries an address and has delimiter signal patterns that surround the payload, or contents, of the PDU.Issues:–mechanical and electrical interfaces–time per bit–distancesModulationModulationProcess of varying a carrier signal in order to use that signal to convey information –Carrier signal can transmit far away, but information cannot–Modem: amplitude, phase, and frequency–Analog: AM, amplitude, FM, frequency, Vestigial sideband modulation, TV–Digital: mapping digital information to different constellation: Frequency-shift key (FSK)ISO/OSI Reference Model: Data LinkISO/OSI Reference Model: Data LinkThe Data Link layer negotiates frame sizes and the speed at which they are sent with the Data Link layer at the other end. –The timing of frame transmission is called flow control.Data Link layers at both ends acknowledge packets as they are exchanged. The sender retransmits the packet if no acknowledgement is received within a given time interval.
