Computer networking media sharing protocols allow two or more computers to connect to a physical or virtual medium. The most common case are the IEEE Project 802]] medium access control]] (MAC) protocols for wired and wireless local area network]]s, but also include connection-oriented multiplexing protocols]] such as frame relay]], asynchronous transfer mode]] (ATM), and point-to-point protocol]] (PPP). They assume the existence of Computer networking media attachment protocols|computer networking media attachment protocols]], which manage the attachment of a single computer to a medium. These protocols may include various layer management protocols]], such as address negotiation in PPP. |
