Is conversion of bits into bytes and vice versa a function of Layer 1 or
Layer 2?
I have seen contradictory info.
(I would say it is a layer 2 function because Layer 1 is only physical
matters like voltage etc... but some one may have a logic to prove me wrong)
thanks,

Layer 1 just understands bits. Hardware, in general, understands voltage
and no voltage (one or zero). I guess it could understand high voltage and
low voltage. In fact, there's even ternary systems that understand high,
kinda high, and low.
Back in the early days, software engineers got kind
This is clear. Thank you!
