HDLC

High-level Data Link Control is both a point-to-point and multiparty link-layer technology. HDLC

 

provides reliable, acknowledged transfer across dedicated links.

L

L2TP Access LAC is a device attached to one or more PSTN or ISDN lines capable of PPP operation and of handling Concentrator (LAC) the L2TP protocol. The LAC needs only to implement the media over which L2TP is to operate to pass

 

traffic to one or more LNSs. It may tunnel any protocol carried within PPP.

LAN

Local Area Network consists of all of the components that create a system up to a router. These

 

components include cables, repeaters, bridges, and software up to the network layer.

LDAP

Lightweight Directory Access Protocol provides a standard way for Internet clients, applications, and

 

WWW servers to access directory information across the Internet such as user names, e-mail addresses,

 

security certificates, and other contact information.

Logical Link Control is an interface that defines several common interfaces between higher-level protocols (for example, IP) and the networks they ride upon (for example, Ethernet, Token Ring, and others).

L2TP Network An LNS operates on any platform capable of PPP termination. The LNS handles the server side of the

Server (LNS) L2TP protocol. Since L2TP relies only on the single media over which L2TP tunnels arrive, the LNS may have only a single LAN or WAN interface, yet still be able to terminate calls arriving at any LAC's full range of PPP interfaces (async, synchronous ISDN, V.120, etc.).
