What is Media Access Management?
Media access management is a protocol that is associated with an Open Systems Interconnection model. Essentially, media access management works within OSI as the means of performance associated with the media access control functions of the model. The process of media access management makes it possible for the system to determine if resources are free for transmission of data packets or frames. The place within the system where media access management takes place is the Mac sublayer within the data-link layer. It is at this juncture that the quality, size, and compatibility of the data is determined. The media access management function implements certain orders to the controller based on how the data frame or packet is read, processed, and approved for delivery. Prior to reaching the data-link layer, the data packet or frame passed thorough what is known as the carrier sense multiple access/collision detect sublayer, where the data packet was maintained without corrupting other packe
