This description was written by a machine and published without a person checking it. It is what the agent made of this grouping, and not a statement anybody has stood behind.
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. Collects the medium access and framing work, from cable through bridged LANs to radio and satellite. Each change of medium forces a different answer, and membership turns on the medium's constraints being the subject.
