2.4.4 ISDN Protocols

HDLC (High-Level Data Link Control) is one of the most common data link (layer 2) protocols. It supports both half duplex and full duplex communication lines, point to point (peer to peer) and multi-point networks, and switched or non-switched channels. It permits synchronous, code-transparent data transmission.

The TA supports the following protocols.

DESCRIPTION

PROTOCOLS

 

 

 

V.110

V.110 is most popular in Japan or Europe.

 

 

V.120

V.120 is most commonly used in North America.

 

 

X.75

X.75 was originally designed for packet-switched signaling systems in public

 

networks to provide data transmission services. However, it is now also used as

 

the link layer for telematic services (as defined in T.90) in ISDN. These services

 

include both ISDN circuit-switched mode (DTE-DTE communication) and ISDN

 

packet-switched mode (DTE-DCE communication). DCE (Data Communication

 

Equipment) is a device, such as a modem, that converts data between different

 

interfaces (digital and analog for example) and exchanges data with the DTE.

PPP and MLP

PPP allows B-channels bundling and bandwidth release and is the most widely

 

used protocol for Internet access.
