Line 223: * a transmitted data frame will reach the peer's receiver (after potential retransmissions) * there will be room to accommodate received data frames (L2 flow control) * the content of a data frame will be only be passed once to the upper protocol layer (duplicate data frames are discarded) * data frames within the same Traffic Class will be received and passed to the upper protocol layers in order Thus individual links autonomously provide reliable data transfer. This is different from, for example, the widely used [[Transmission Control Protocol\|TCP protocol]] that detects errors at the endpoints and relies on end-to-end retransmission in case of corrupted or missing data.
