The document discusses various error control techniques used at the data link layer, including parity checks, checksums, and automatic repeat request (ARQ) protocols. It describes stop-and-wait ARQ, go-back-n ARQ, and selective reject ARQ. For example, stop-and-wait ARQ involves the sender transmitting a single frame and waiting for an acknowledgment before sending the next frame. Go-back-n ARQ allows the sender to transmit multiple frames before waiting for an acknowledgment.
