What network device (found on every computer connected to a network) creates outgoing frames, reads incoming frames, and attaches MAC addresses?

What will be an ideal response?


The network device is a NIC. The many steps a NIC performs to keep data moving - sending and receiving frames over the wire, creating outgoing frames, reading incoming frames, and attaching MAC addresses-are classically broken down into two distinct jobs. The first job is called the Logical Link Control (LLC). The second job is called the Media Access Control (MAC).
