Proporcionar una interfaz entre la capa de enlace de datos y la capa de red.

Proporcionar servicios de control de flujo y de error para la transmisión de datos.

Identificar el destino de los datos y controlar el acceso al medio compartido.

Proporcionar servicios de enrutamiento de paquetes a través de la red.

La subcapa de control de acceso al medio (MAC, por sus siglas en inglés) es una parte crucial de la capa de enlace de datos en el modelo de referencia OSI (Open Systems Interconnection). Su función principal es coordinar el acceso al medio compartido por múltiples dispositivos en una red de área local (LAN). Aquí hay algunas funciones específicas de la subcapa MAC:

Control de Acceso al Medio: La subcapa MAC establece reglas y procedimientos para el acceso al medio de transmisión compartido entre múltiples dispositivos. Esto asegura que los dispositivos transmitan sus datos de manera ordenada y sin colisiones.

Direccionamiento MAC: Cada dispositivo en una red tiene una dirección de control de acceso al medio (MAC address), que es única a nivel mundial. La subcapa MAC utiliza estas direcciones para identificar los dispositivos en la red y garantizar que los datos se envíen al destinatario correcto.

Protocolos de Acceso al Medio: La subcapa MAC implementa diferentes protocolos de acceso al medio, como el protocolo CSMA/CD (Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection) utilizado en Ethernet, que permite a los dispositivos detectar y manejar colisiones de datos.

Priorización de Tráfico: En algunas redes, la subcapa MAC puede implementar esquemas de priorización de tráfico para garantizar que ciertos tipos de datos (por ejemplo, voz o video) tengan acceso preferencial al medio de transmisión.

Fragmentación y Reensamblaje de Datos: En caso de que los datos sean demasiado grandes para ser transmitidos en un solo paquete, la subcapa MAC puede dividirlos en fragmentos más pequeños para su transmisión eficiente y luego reensamblarlos en el destino.

En resumen, la subcapa MAC desempeña un papel fundamental en la gestión del acceso al medio compartido y en la coordinación de la transmisión de datos en una red de área local, lo que garantiza un funcionamiento eficiente y confiable de la capa de enlace de datos.
