 | | A key function of the data link layer is to encode the occurrence of the flag sequence within user data as a different sequence using bit stuffing as follows. |
 | | The control field of the X.25 LAPB frame is identical to the corresponding HDLC frame with the one-octet length called basic mode, or the optional modes for a two-octet length called extended mode, and the four octet length called super mode. |
 | | Control Field Length (Octets) Sequence Number Length (Bits) Sequence Number Modulus 1 3 8 2 7 128 4 15 32,768 8 31 2,147,483,648 Table 1 HDLC Control Field Lengths and Sequence Number Modulus 3.1 Conclusion Many options are defined in the HDLC standard, and there are many vendor implementations of HDLC. |
