Sure! Error control in the data link layer ensures that data is transmitted accurately over a network. It involves both error detection and error correction techniques. Here’s a detailed explanation with examples: Error Detection Error detection involves identifying errors in the transmitted data. Common techniques include: Sure! Let’s dive into the different error detection methods used in the data link layer: VRC, LRC, CRC, and Checksum. 1. Vertical Redundancy Check (VRC) VRC , also known as Parity Check , involves adding a parity bit to each data unit (byte). This parity bit ensures that the total number of 1s in the byte (including the parity bit) is even (even parity) or odd (odd parity). Example: Data to be sent: 1010001 Even parity: Add a parity bit 1 to make the total number of 1s even: 10100011 Odd parity: Add a parity bit 0 to keep the total number of 1s odd: 10100010 At the receiver’s end, the parity of the received data is checked. If it doesn’t match the expected pa...
