  • Data Link Layer Protocols

    Synchronous data link control / SDLC: supports loop or hub go-ahead configuration used with bounded and unbounded media.

    High Level Data Link Control / HDLC: Provides an option for a 32bit checksum, maintains data integrity, and provides flow control.

    Link access procedure balanced / LAPB: Performs packet framing operations, using I-, S- and U-frames.

  • Packet Switching / WAN Technology

    • X.25: defines communication between DTE and DCE devices.
    • Switched multimegabit data services (SMDS):
      • Is a connectionless protocol and can provide bandwidth for exchange of large amounts of data.
      • A connectionless, high-speed, datagram-based WAN technology for communication over public data networks.
    • Frame Relay: Forwards packets to their destinations and doesn’t unpack frames at each node.
    • Link access procedure balanced (LAPB): Ensures that frames are conrrectly sequenced and error free.
    • Asynchronous transfer mode (ATM):
      • transmits data in fixed size cells of 53 byte and can provide bandwidth on demand.
      • Connection oriented switching technology that uses a cell-switching method.
    •  Synchronous data link control (SDLC): bit oriented synchronous protocol.
    • High level data link control (HDLC): A bit oriented data link protocol.
    • Switching: A virtual connection which acts like a dedicated link between the sender and the receiver devices.
    • Password authentication protocol (PAP): uses an authentication server to compare supplied credentials against stored credentials.
    • Challenge handshake authentication protocol (CHAP): enables user auth without revealing a shared password between two entities.
    • Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP): works directly at the data link layer.
    • Point-to-point protocol (PPP): Supports asynchronous and synchronous connections and network protocol multiplexing.
    • Serial Line Internet Protocol (SLIP): Frames datagrams for transmission but doesn’t provide error detection or data compression.
