The LLC sublayer provides multiplexing mechanisms that make it possible for several network protocols (e.g. IP, IPX, Decnet and Appletalk) to coexist within a multipoint network and to be transported over the same network medium . It can also provide flow control and automatic repeat request (ARQ) error management mechanisms . </P> <P> The LLC sublayer acts as an interface between the media access control (MAC) sublayer and the network layer . </P>
