5.2 Logical Interface
The host system and the device communicate with each other by sending and
receiving serial data.
The host and the device have several dedicated communication layers between
them. These layers have different functions, enabling communication between the
different levels of layers within the host or device and between layers at the same
level that link the host and device.
Figure 5.3 is a conceptual diagram of the communication layers.
