This is the MCQ in Multiple Access from book the Data Communications and Networking 4th
Edition by Behrouz A. Forouzan. If you are looking for a reviewer in datacom, topic in
Electronics Systems and Technologies (Communications Engineering) this will definitely help
you before taking the Board Exam.In this particular topic you have learned Multiple Access.
At this point, we can say that Data link layer divided into two functionality-oriented
sublayers. The upper sublayer is responsible for data link control, and the lower sublayer is
responsible for resolving access to the shared media. If you skip the summary visit Multiple
