The data link layer in networking deals with physical addressing. In an Ethernet - based network during encapsulation, the physical address (MAC address) is added at the data link layer. IP addresses are added at the network layer, process port numbers are related to the transport layer, and logical addresses are more general and not specifically added only at the data - link layer.
