Data encryption, compression, translation services, presents data, handles processing such as encryption, code formatting, ensures data transferred from one systems layer to another can be read.

13/34

Framing, combines packets into bytes and bytes in frames, provides access to media using MAC address, performs error detection not correction, provides physical transmission of the data and handles error notification, ensures that messages are delivered to the proper device on a LAN using hardware addresses, and translates messages from one later into bits for another layer to transmit, formats message into pieces, responsible for the unique ID of each device that resides on a local network.
