Understanding HDLC Protocol Basics

HDLC is a bit-oriented protocol for reliable transmission of data over serial lines. It uses flags to delimit frames and error checking sequences. There are two connection modes - normal response mode for one-way communication and asynchronous response mode for two-way communication. There are three types of frames - information frames for data, unnumbered frames for system messages, and supervisory frames for error and flow control using sequence numbers. The frame format includes the flag, address, control field, data (for I-frames only), and frame check sequence.

WHAT DOES HDLC STANDS FOR?

High link Data Link Control


overview
Reliable protocol

selective repeat or go-back-N


Full-duplex communication

receive and transmit at the same time


Bit-oriented protocol

use bits to stuff flags occurring in data


Flow control

adjust window size based on receiver capability

Two types of Connections


1

Normal Response mode


One way communication Also called as unbalanced mode

Primary station responsible for controlling the operation of data flow the link.

Unbalanced Mode

Secondary station, Operates under the control of the primary station. Frames issued by a secondary station are called responses.

Commands Primary Responses Secondary Secondary

Asynchronous Response mode


2

Two way communication Also called as balanced mode

Balanced mode

Combined commands/Responses
Combined station, Acts as both as primary and secondary station.

Combined

There are three different classes of frames used in HDLC


Information frames / I-Frames : As the name suggests it deals with the data / information
Unnumbered Frames / U-Frames:
Mainly concerned with the system messages

Supervisory frames / S-Frames :


Used for error and flow control purposes and hence contain send and receive sequence numbers, doesn't contain data

The frame formats in HDLC

DESCRIPTION
FLAG : Depicts the beginning and end of each frame. Address : Source / Destination address(1 byte or more) Control field Data field : contains the actual data (only present in
the I-Frame)

FCS Frequency Check Sequence: used in error control & flow control

The control field of different frame formats in HDLC

DESCRIPTION
Control field in I-Frame: First bit depicts the type of the frame i.e., if the first bit is 1 it is I-Frame. Next three bits gives the SEQUENCE NUMBER P/F : Poll/Final : if P = ON -> flow from source to destination. if P = OFF -> flow from destination to source Control field in S-Frame: First 2 bits depicts the type of the frame i.e., if the first 2 bits are 1 and 0, it is S-Frame. There are four different supervisory frames note : SS First two bits SS=00, Receiver Ready (RR) SS=10, Receiver Not Ready (RNR) SS=01, Reject SS=11, Selective Reject
