Illustrate all the error control mechanism available in data link layer?

Error Control focuses on detecting and connecting errors that may occurs. occurs during data
transmission to remain data integrity and reliability. Here are some error control mechanism
in networking.
Error Detection: a) parity check: Parity bits are added data to checked the single bit errors.
Even parity ensures that the total number of 1S in the data and parity but bit is even while

Error Recovery: a) Positive Ack with Retransmission:(PAR): The receiver send PAR for
error free frames, while the sender retransmits frames not acknowledged or detected
as faulty.
b) Negative Ack with Retransmission:The receiver, sends negative NAR to indicate
faulty frames, promting the senderto transmit them.
Error Prevention: a) Bit stuffing: used in protocols like HDLC and PPP, it prevents
accidental interoption of control characters as data by adding an extra bit when
specific bit patterns unencountered.
