Assignment
Each layer of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model has one or more protocol data units (PDUs) associated with it; in the case of Layer 2, at which switching is executed, the PDU used is the frame. Do some research on the various frame types available for Layer 2 operations, and discuss, using diagrams, those frame types. Your paper should cover following questions:
Which Layer 2 frame is now the commonly accepted standard?
What are its constituent components?
What function does each of these components implement?
As part of this discussion, explain how and why frames can become malformed and what methods for error correction are implemented at Layer 2.
