FRAMES TO BITS CONVERSION

[shivang.badola92111]

Hello everyone i was curious that how frame at L2 is converted into bits at layer 1 to transmit from one device to another. However i was not able to find any good point to say that "which technique,technology or protocol" helps the process of conversion, another point is this thing is hardware or software based ???

It's almost always hardware based.

How the bits are placed on the wire depends on the media. There are many different L1 encoding techniques.

BTW, the reason you're probably not finding much documentation on it, it's a very technical subject which few delve into.
