The data link layer or layer 2 is the second layer of the seven-layer OSI model of computer networking.
The data link layer's primary function is to ensure data is received by the correct device in a network using hardware addresses, called MAC address, and then convert that data into bits for the physical layer to transmit. It also manages error notification, flow control and network topology.
