Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE) Question:
Why do we use bit stuffing and character stuffing?
Answer:
The flag bits in the data link layer are of the form 01111110. If there is data that takes the same form, it will be misinterpreted as a flag bit. In order to avoid this we stuff additional bits at the sending end and de-stuff the same at the receiving end.
