!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] [IEEE 802] splits the [OSI-Model] [Data-link Layer] into two sub-layers named [{$pagename}] ([LLC]) and [Media Access Control] ([MAC])


[{$pagename}] is defined within the [IEEE 802.2] specification.

[{$pagename}] sublayer provides multiplexing mechanisms that make it possible for several [network] [protocols] (e.g. [IP], [Internet Protocol Exchange|Internetwork Packet Exchange], [Decnet] and [AppleTalk]) to coexist within a multipoint [network] and to be transported over the same [network] medium. 

[{$pagename}] can also provide flow control and [Automatic Repeat-reQuest] ([ARQ]) [error] management mechanisms.

[{$pagename}] sublayer acts as an interface between the [Media Access Control] (MAC) sublayer and the [Network Layer].
