The document outlines Data Link Control Protocol (DLCP), highlighting its role in managing orderly data exchange between OSI protocol layer 2 devices and describing two network types: primary/secondary and peer-to-peer. It details DLCP functions, including line discipline, flow control, and error control, along with methods of implementation such as enquiry/acknowledgement and poll/select for line discipline, and stop-and-wait and sliding window for flow control. Error control mechanisms are discussed, with an emphasis on Automatic Repeat reQuest (ARQ) methods for error detection and correction.
