  1. Data Link Protocols • Specifications to implement data link layer • Asynchronous Protocols: • Primarily used in modems • Feature start and stop bits and variable length gaps between characters • Synchronous Protocols: • Developed for higher speed networks • No start and stop bits, much lower overhead, faster transmission ECE 766 Computer Interfacing and Protocols

  2. Synchronous Protocols • Character-oriented protocols: • Frames are interpreted as a sequence of characters • Example: Binary Synchronous Communication (BSC) • Character count-oriented protocols: • Frame length specified within the header • Example: Digital Data Communication Message Protocol, Count Type (DDCMP) • Bit-oriented protocols: • Frames are interpreted as a sequence of bits • Example: High-Level Data Link Control (HDLC) ECE 766 Computer Interfacing and Protocols

  3. BSC • Half duplex, can be used with ASCII, EBCDIC, and Six Bit Transcode • Control information is in the form of code words taken from the character set • Control information is carried in separate frames as well as within data frames • Line control, flow control, error control ECE 766 Computer Interfacing and Protocols

  4. SYN SYN SOH STX ETX BCC BCC Header …Data… BSC • Data Frames: • SYN = (0)0010110 (ASCII 268) • Header: • Address, sequence number for stop-and-wait ARQ • Non-standardized • BCC: Block Check Character • 1-character LRC • 2-character CRC ECE 766 Computer Interfacing and Protocols

  6. BSC • Control Frames: • Frames used only for signaling • SYN SYN {Control Characters} BCC • Connection establishment (bid, poll, select, positive and negative responses) • Connection termination (end of transmission) • Flow and error control(ACK0, ACK1, NAK, WACK (wait and ACK), reverse interrupt, temporary delay) ECE 766 Computer Interfacing and Protocols

  7. BSC • Data Transparency • When sending binary data, certain sequences may be identical to control characters • Solution: Define transparent blocks and use character stuffing • Start transparent text block with DLE STX • End transparent text block with DLE ETX, DLE ITB, DLE ETB • To send DLE character, send DLE DLE ECE 766 Computer Interfacing and Protocols

  8. SYN SYN HEADER SourceDest. MSGByteCount CRC CRC …Data… DDCMP • Character-count-oriented protocol • Instead of using control characters to mark the end of the frame, send the length of the frame • Can also be used asynchronously • What happens when header is damaged? ECE 766 Computer Interfacing and Protocols

  9. Flag Address Control Variable length data Check Flag HDLC • Bit-oriented protocol • Special bit pattern to signal beginning and end of frame (01111110) • This pattern cannot be repeated in the frame • Solution: Bit stuffing • Transmitter automatically stuffs dummy 0 after five 1s • If after five 1s the sequence 10 is received, it is the reserved pattern • If less than 15 1s are received, it signals abort, otherwise idle channel ECE 766 Computer Interfacing and Protocols
