In computer networking, a frame is a digital data transmission unit on the Layer 2 of the OSI model. It is used for data exchange between two points via a direct physical or logical link. Depending on the Layer 2 protocol employed, the receiver of frames uses one of multiplex techniques to distinguish more than one logical data streams (sometimes dubbed virtual circuits) which run over a single shared medium.
