The term "frame" is used at the data link layer to refer to a unit of data that has been processed at that layer. On the other hand, at the network layer, the term "packet" is used to refer to a unit of data that has been processed at that layer. Therefore, the best choice for a piece of data processed at the data link layer is "frame," while for the network layer, it is "packet."
