DATA COMMUNICATION Lecture-41
Recap of Lecture 40 Data Link Protocols Asynchronous Protocols
Overview of Lecture 41 Synchronous Protocols Bit-Oriented Protocols HDLC Link Access Protocols (LAPs)
Synchronous Protocols
Bit-Oriented Protocols
High Level Data Link Control (HDLC) Bit-oriented data link protocol Both half-duplex and full-duplex communication Point-to-point or multipoint links
HDLC Systems using HDLC are characterized by their: Station Types Configurations Response Modes
HDLC-Station Types Station types Primary station: Sends commands Secondary station: Sends responses Combined station: One of a set of connected peer devices
HDLC-Configurations Configurations Unbalanced Symmetrical Balanced
HDLC-Modes
HDLC Frames
HDLC Flag Field
HDLC Address Field
HDLC Control Fields
HDLC Control Fields in the Extended Mode
Poll/Final Field in HDLC
