bit stream
Frames are delimited by flags (8 bits: 01111110)
Shared flag closes one frame and opens the next
Idle is usually flags, but may be 1s (mark idle)
Shared zero flag is deprecated, and often banned:

• Transparency is by “bit stuffing” everything between the
•
•
•
•
•
flags: any sequence of five 1s has a 0 bit stuffed after it
Stuffed frame length need not be a multiple of 8 bits
Stuffing makes the “effective data rate” pattern sensitive
3 kinds of CRC: CRC-SDLC (aka CRC-CCITT), CRC-16,
and CRC-32 (used by CCITT).
CRC-16 detects errors better, but wasn’t known when
CRC-SDLC was chosen. Rarely used.
Hardware sends/detects flags, bit stuffing, CRC

RFC 1662 (Asynchronous HDLC)
• Sends frames over a synchronous or asynchronous octet

stream (e.g., modem, X.25, SONET)
Based on ISO/IEC 3309:1991 (HDLC framing)
Frames delimited by flag octets: 01111110 (0x7E)
Byte stuffing: escape = 0x7D,
Following byte = (user data XOR 0x20)
Flag and Escape bytes in user data MUST be escaped
PPP Async Control Character Map (ACCM) specifies
other values from 0 - 0x1F to escape (Tx), and ignore (Rx)
Byte stuffing is often done in software

Ethernet II
• First widespread Ethernet standard
• PIDs administered by IEEE
• All IP on Ethernet is required to support this (RFC
•
•
1122), and almost all use it.
All PIDs are >= 1536 (decimal)
Exact packet length is not available from frame

SSAP) are essentially protocol IDs
Used by IPX since Netware 3.12 (SAP=0xE0)
Not used for IP
Exact length available because ‘length’ specifies valid data,
not including padding

• Synchronous bit stream
• Bit stream may be framed (DS3, OC3)
• Cells are 53 bytes:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
5 header + 48 payload
Idle with null or unassigned cells
Cell delineation usually by Header
Error Check (HEC)
ATM switches operate primarily on
cells, ignoring payload type (PT)
VPI/VCI is virtual circuit identifier
VPI is 8 bits (UNI) or 12 bits (NNI)
VCI is 16 bits
CLP is like Frame Relay DE
