  Data Link Control Emulation: Rapid Prototyping for High-Speed Networks
We show that DLC emulation is a flexible and general technique that supports a wide range of Data Link Control protocols, and we demonstrate its effectiveness through a case study, where an FDDI adapter is used to provide SMDS connectivity over T1 and T3 links.
DLC emulation performs protocol conversion at the DLC layer of a single protocol stack, in reference to the OSI protocol layer model [12]; that is, it is defined for an attachment to a single network, and thus differs in concept from bridges or routers that perform protocol conversion between two different networks (protocol stacks).
DLC emulation has proven in practice to be efficient and effective for rapid-prototyping of high-speed network technologies, providing a fast development cycle and resulting in systems that take advantage of the improved characteristics of new networks in a reliable and cost-effective fashion.

When a data link control protocol is used, the transmission medium between systems is referred to as a data link.
Actual path of the data transfer process follows layers 3-2-1 on the sender machine and 1-2-3 on the destination machine, but it is easier to think that two DLL processes data transfer using a data link protocol.
On reliable channels, such as fiber, the overhead of a heavyweight data link protocol may be unnecessary, but on wireless channels, with their unreliability, it is well worth the cost.

 Data link control method and system for integrated services digital network - Patent 5051992
After the data link connection has been established between the terminal equipment and the ISDN, the incoming calling operation in the CCP is executed in response to the SETUP message which is sent from the ISDN to the CCP.
The data transmitted from the terminal equipment 8 and CCP 2 to either one of the channels is received by the ET 5 through the ET 5.
The data link is established between the ISDN and the terminal equipment 8B-1 by subsequently communicating the CONNECT message (step 38), CONN-ACK message (step 39), SABM message (step 40), and UA message (step 41) between the terminal and the ISDN.

 HDLC - High Level Data Link Control
Data is transmitted in the data field, which can vary in length depending upon the protocol using the frame.
SNRM and SABM frames, for example, are used both to set up logical link between the primary and the secondary station and to inform the secondary station of the mode of operation to be used.
Prior to any kind of transmission (either between two stations connected by a point to point link or between a primary and secondary station a multidrop link) a logical connection between the two communication parties must be established.

 HDLC: High Level Data Link Control
The High Level Data Link Control (HDLC) protocol, an ISO data link layer protocol based on the IBM SDLC, is to ensure that data passed up to the next layer has been received exactly as transmitted (i.e error free, without loss and in the correct order).
If data is flowing in both directions (full duplex), the data frames themselves carry all the information required to ensure data integrity.
This means that data can continue to flow in situations where there may be long "turn-around" time lags without stopping to wait for an acknowledgement.

 What Is...HDLC (High-level Data Link Control) (a definition)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
HDLC (High-level Data Link Control) is a group of protocols or rules for transmitting data between network points (sometimes called nodes).
Variations of HDLC are also used for the public networks that use the X.25 communications protocol and for frame relay, a protocol used in both local area networks and wide area networks, public and private.
(An X.25 network is one in which packets of data are moved to their destination along routes determined by network conditions as perceived by routers and reassembled in the right order at the ultimate destination.) The X.25 version of HDLC uses peer-to-peer communication with both ends able to initiate communication on duplex links.

 CEN 4500C - Data Link Control
Point-to-point links have exactly two nodes attached to them, and so do not require addressing (it is implicit who is sending and who is receiving by the link used).
Multipoint links require addressing: if there is a distinguished node (a Master or primary station), and all communication that takes place either has it as the source or the destination, then only the address of the undistinguished (Slave or secondary) node need be included.
Simplex links are often used as parts of a full duplex connection, and may be used for true simplex communication in sensor networks, for monitoring, and in broadcast radio and television.

 High-level data link control packet assembler/disassembler - Patent 4951278
Although data communication between DCEs of the network is routinely handled by the network operator typically using techniques other than X.25, communication between the individual user system and the respective DCE with which it interfaces to the network is governed by the X.25 or similar protocol.
In a full duplex link, modems servicing the link support simultaneous transmission in both directions on the link, as a result either of having a four wire circuit or of the ability to support simultaneous transmission on different frequencies in different directions and to disable echo suppressors on a two wire circuit.
That data packet (as X.25 DCE) is received by the host HPAD, which waits until the next poll for the line/control unit designated as part of the information contained in the received packet and then transmits to the host an SDLC RD response frame for that line/control unit.
