cf) physical control layer addresses the transmission of bit streams over
a physical circuit.
It is important to point out that the SNA architecture itself does not
define the functions that are performed in the phyical control layer, and
specific method of transmitting bits are not defined by SNA. Various
methods of physical transmission can be employed in an SNA network,
including computer channels, telephone lines, satellite links, and
microwave transmission. The techniques used for phisical transmission are
defined outside the SNA architecture.

3.Transmission control
-The third functional layer, it keeps track of the status of sessions that
are in progress, controls the pacing of data flow within a session, and
sees that the units of data that make up a message are sent and received
in the proper sequence.
-This layer also provides an optional data encryption/decryption facility.
4.Data Flow control
-it is concerned with the overall intefrity of the flow of data during a
session between two network addressable units.
-this can involve determinig the mode of sending and receving, managing
groups of related messages, and determing what type of response mode to
use.
5.Function Management
-The uppermost SNA functional layer is highly complex and can be thought
of as being divided into sublayers:a functional management data services
sublayers and a NAU services manager sublayer. fig 3.1

-SNA functions are assigned to well-defined functional layers. The data
link control layer is responsiblefor the transmission of data between two
nodes over a particular physical link. The data link control layer uses
the services of a physical control layer that is defined outside the SNA
architecture. The path control layer routes data from one node to the
next. The transmission control layer tracks session status, controls the
pacing of data flow, and sees that data units are properly sequenced, The
data flow control layer manages the overall integrity of data flow during
asession. The function managenent layer is divided into two sublayers---
function management data services and NAU services manager. The function
management data services sublayer controls the interface with network user
and manages the activitices of the network as a whole. The NAU services
manager sublayer provides services to lower-level layers.Two types of
communication occur as data are transmitted through an SNA network.
Communication between adjacent layers takes place as data pass from one
layer to the next.Data are physically passes down through the various
functioal layers in the sending node, across over physicall circuits, and
back up through the functional layers in the receiving node. Control
information is added and then stripped off by the various functional
layers.Peer-to-Peer communication is communication that logically taked
place between the complementary layers in the sending and receiving nodes.
The SNA architecture defines protocols that specify how equivalent layers
in different nodes are to interact and defines the formats for headers
that are added to messages by the various functional layers.
