Data link layer relationships Subject–Predicate–Object triples

TTTA extracted 48 structured relationships around Data link layer. Examples in this analysis include FDDI → instance of → as well as with some non-802 MAC layers and DLE STX → instance of → is easily disturbed if this field is corrupted.Byte stuffing precedes the frame with a special byte sequence. The table shows each extracted connection, where it came from and its confidence.
