The MAC sublayer is responsible for joining a wireless network. It is responsible for controlling access to the physical transmission medium and ensuring that data is transmitted error-free between devices on the same network segment. Resolving IP address to MAC address is performed by the ARP protocol at the network layer, resolving names to IP addresses is performed by DNS at the application layer, and determining the best path is performed by routing protocols at the network layer.
