[edit] Is it Media or Medium Access Layer?

The correct form as used in the standards is "MEDIA access control". Whether that's correct grammatically is up for debate in some forum (fora?) perhaps - but not here please.--Snori 19:06, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Checksum verification in the MAC sublayer?

I felt certain before reading this article that all forms of reliability insurance measures were the alotted responsibility of the Logical Link Control sublayer of the Data link layer, rather than of the MAC layer. If I'm right, shouldn't the point on error detection and correction by means of checksum verification belong in the article on the Logical Link Control sublayer?

I think I found the precise information. See my contrib. Regards. Gtabary 13:44, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
