Computer Networking - Chapter 5: Link Layer and LANs understand principles behind data link layer services (error detection, correction, sharing a broadcast channel, link layer addressing, reliable data transfer, flow control); instantiation and implementation of various link layer technologies. | Chapter 5 Link Layer and LANs A note on the use of these ppt slides: We’re making these slides freely available to all (faculty, students, readers). They’re in PowerPoint form so you can add, modify, and delete slides (including this one) and slide content to suit your needs. They obviously represent a lot of work on our part. In return for use, we only ask the following: If you use these slides (., in a class) in substantially unaltered form, that you mention their source (after all, we’d like people to use our book!) If you post any slides in substantially unaltered form on a www site, that you note that they are adapted from (or perhaps identical to) our slides, and note our copyright of this material.
