Thanks for the notes. I have a small doubt. I had read somewhere that the lower 3 OSI layers are generally implemented in hardware in the NIC. Is that correct? Since the NIC has a MAC address it should be operating at layer 2.
ReplyDeleteThe physical layer and data link layer are implemented in both hardware and software. The other layers are generally implemented only in software.
