Between the wire and the packet
A subject the papers are about. The loosest grouping, and the one to reach for last.
The layer the five-layer diagram draws as one box, where a shared medium has to be turned into orderly packets. Each change of medium — cable, bridged LAN, radio, satellite — forces a different answer.
