    Being made up of various parts each layer has a unique function in the network. Additionally, each layer incorporates things to the data which is transmitted from one point to the other. The protocols which work on this layer are HDLC, PPP as well as the frame relay protocol. HDLC protocol means High-Level Data Link Control protocol. An additional protocol which works on layers of the OSI model is the Point-to-Point protocol (PPP) that is just like HDLS protocol. The frame relay protocol works at the data links layer of the OSI model (Cisco, 2008).…
