The Basics of HDLC

HDLC, high-level data link control, is a popular ITU defined protocol used in data networking applications such as cellular base station switch controllers, frame relay switches, high bandwidth WAN links, xDSL and modem error correction. This protocol is responsible for transmitting data between network points. It organizes data into units, following the bit oriented packet transmission mode, and sends it across a network to a destination that verifies its successful arrival. The data stream and transmission rate is controlled from the network node (PCM highway clock) with a back pressure mechanism. This eliminates additional synchronization and buffering of the data at the network interface. Different variations of the protocol are used in different networks. For example, ISDN's D-channel uses a slightly modified version of HDLC.
