Data Link Layer Protocol

TCP provides in-order delivery of packets, congestion control to ease network load and minimize packet loss, and error detection with mandatory checksums. It has overhead from three-way handshaking and larger headers. Congestion control can cause delays, making it not ideal for real-time data delivery. Flow control at the data link layer includes stop-and-wait and sliding window protocols. Error control includes stop-and-wait ARQ where senders use timeout counters for frames.

 In-order Delivery: Althoug, packets may arrive out of order, TCP

will re-arrange them, before sending them to the application


layer.
 Congestion control: Delays transmission when the network is
congested.
It eases load on the network, which helps minimize packet loss.
 Error Detection: No improvement, but checksum is mandatory for
IPv4 as well as IPv6.

Disadvantage
 Bigger overhead: Since it is connection oriented.
3-way Handshaking: virtual path establishment, data transfer,
and termination.
 Bigger header: 20 bytes.
 Not for real time delivery of Data: Data doesn’t always sent out
immediately, side effect of congestion control.

Data Link Layer Protocols

Flow Control Protocols


When a data frame (Layer-2 data) is sent from one host to another
over a single medium, it is required that the sender and receiver
should work at the same speed.

Two types of mechanisms to control the flow:

 Stop and Wait


Forces the sender after transmitting a data frame to stop and wait
until the acknowledgement of the data-frame sent is received.
 Sliding Window
Both sender and receiver agree on the number of data-frames
after which the acknowledgement should be sent.

Error Control Protocols


 Stop-and Wait ARQ
o Sender maintains a timeout counter.
o a frame is sent, the sender starts the timeout counter.
