The 802 committee and the OSI model both relate to one another. The OSI model shows how the layers of the internet are able to communicate and function with each other. While the 802 committee will add onto that by showing how network protocols should function. With that being said there are numerous working groups under the 802 committee however the one that I will be writing about is the 802.2 or the logical link control (LLC). The logical link control is in the 2nd layer (data-link) of the OSI model. The purpose of this protocol is flow and error control along with multiplexing and demultiplexing. How multiplexing works is by getting multiple data streams and combining them into one shared stream. This is mainly seen in the common forms …show more content…

Multiplexing will gather the data from the source host and give that data some header information. This data will be created into segments by demultiplexing and then be sent to the 3rd layer (Network layer). So to summarize multiplexing will gather data and give it header information and demultiplexing will create segments and sent them to the network layer. Now with flow control that will relate with multiplexing, mainly because it can take multiple data streams and combine them into one shared stream, making that a form of data flow control. Now as far as error checking that will relate to the frames of the data. The logical link control will use a frame check sequence (FCS) to check the frame to see if there is any problems with it. If it detects an error during the frame check sequence then the frame will be discarded and the data will be passed on to the network layer. With this all being said this will mainly be used in the OSI model since the logical link control is the sub-layer for the data link layer. (The other sub layer being MAC) Without the logical link control or 802.2 then the data link layer wouldn’t function
