Lecture 12 - HDLC: Delivered by Joel Anandraj.E Ap/It

This document provides an overview of High-Level Data Link Control (HDLC), a bit-oriented protocol used for point-to-point and multipoint communication links. HDLC implements stop-and-wait and has two main transfer modes: Normal Response Mode (NRM) and Asynchronous Balanced Mode (ABM). It defines three types of frames - Information frames to carry user data, Supervisory frames for flow and error control, and Unnumbered frames for system management. Each frame contains fields for flags, addresses, control information, data, and a frame check sequence. The control field determines frame type and functionality for flow control, acknowledgments, and connection establishment/release.

LECTURE 12 -HDLC

Introduction

 High-level Data Link Control (HDLC) is a bit-oriented


protocol for communication over point-to-point and
multipoint links.

 HDLC implements Stop and Wait.

 Form the basis for PPP or the Ethernet Protocol.

information management
Each frame in HDLC may contain up to six fields.
Flag field : This field contains synchronization pattern
01111110, which identifies both the beginning and the
end of a frame.

Address field: This field contains the address of the


secondary station.
Control field :The control field is one or two bytes
used for flow and error control.

Information field: The information field contains the


user’s data from the network layer or management
information.

FCS field: The frame check sequence (FCS) is the


HDLC error detection field.
The control field determines the type of frame and
defines its functionality.
Control Field for I-Frames :
I-frames are designed to carry user data from the
network layer.
Additionally they can include flow and error-control
information.
