Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The MAC (Media Access Control) protocol is responsible for controlling access to the transmission medium (such as a network cable or wireless channel) and ensuring that it is used in an organized and efficient manner. It governs how devices contend for access to the medium and how they transmit their data. The LLC (Logical Link Control) protocol is a higher-level protocol that provides error control and flow control services, but does not directly manage access to the medium. SAN (Storage Area Network) and MAN (Metropolitan Area Network) are types of networking architectures and not specific protocols.
