Comment :  IrDA Control  
IrDA Control provides a suite of protocols that peripherals such as keyboards, joysticks, mouse, and pointing devices can use for communicating with a host computer. IrDA Control includes:  
• IrDA Control PHY (physical):  
IrDA-Control-PHY provides bidirectional and error-correcting data transmission at speeds of up to 75 Kbps over distances of up 16 feet.  
• IrDA Control MAC (media access control):  
IrDA-Control-MAC enables host devices to communicate with up to eight peripherals simultaneously.  
• IrDA Control LLC (logical link control):  
IrDA-Control-LLC handles frame sequencing and error control (retransmission of data when errors occur). [Statements submitted to NIST Technical Guidelines Development Committee]
