For this group assignment my part is to find what protocols are used in this layer and what for. I don't know where to start. Google has alot of results but it is all over the place and I don't know what site is 'good.' Would anyone be able to clue me in on this?
I was able to get this so far from someone:
The physical layer is concerned with transmission of unstructured bit streams over a physical link such as a cable, it is responsible for the electrical and procedural characteristics to establish maintain and deactivate the physical link. Simply speaking it is the transmission method, i.e. wire, cable, radio waves, stream of light over a fiber optic line etc.
