ARQ Implemented
Standardized (Layer 2) Protocol
(embeds information in a data frame that allows devices to
control data flow and correct errors)
HDLC
High-level Data Link Control
HDLC is a bit - oriented protocol
HDLC uses a 2 or 4 byte checksum (CRC)
for error detection
HDLC is a simple protocol applicable for
both point - to - point and multipoint
communications. (Transfer mode)
For example, HDLC used to connect
point to point serial devices, ie., we have
point to point leased line connecting
two locations, in two different cities.
HDLC would be the protocol with the
least amount of configuration required
to connect these two locations. HDLC
would be running over the WAN,
between the two locations.
PPP
Point-to-Point Protocol
PPP is a byte - oriented protocol
PPP uses a 2 byte or 4 bytes frame check
sequence for error detection (The standard
code used is CRC)
PPP is a communication protocol used to
transmit multiprotocol data between two
directly connected (point-to-point)
computers.
For example, PPP used to connect home
computers to the Internet. PPP is a WAN
protocol and which is commonly run over
Internet links. PPP most widely used by
Internet service providers (ISPs) to enable
dial up connections to the Internet.
 HDLC b/w routers where PC’s not connected by a LAN Segment
Since

destination address is connected with serial link, router will forward this frame in
serial interface.

Router will de-encapsulate the frame in packet to find out the Layer 3 destination
address.

Serial interface will re–encapsulate the frame with serial encapsulation protocol. In
our example it is HDLC.

PPP is used by Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to allow dial-up users to connect to the Internet.

Most of the
ISPs
(Internet Service Providers) from all over the world offer broadband internet subscriptions.
Some of them do it through a technology called PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet).
 HDLC PPP

HDLC defines a method for PPP was originally designed as an

encapsulating or formatting data into
frames for synchronous transmission
over synchronous serial WAN links to
remote sites.
encapsulation protocol for transporting
multiple network layer traffic over point-
to-point links. PPP used to encapsulate
higher network-layer protocols to pass
over synchronous and asynchronous
communication lines.
