How the Data Link Layer process the data ?

From the sending host it receives each packet on the network layer. After wraps up the packet in a data frame along with local routing data it finaly sends the data frame to the physical layer to code as a signal.

On the receiving host side it unwraps the received data frame and extracts the data packet from the data frame and finally sends the packet up to the network layer.
