Differences between HDLC and PPP are(1) HDLC is cisco proprietary while PPP is an open standard.(2) HDLC does not provide authentication while PPP provides authentication like PAP and CHAP.(3) HDLC does not support compression while PPP support compression.(4) HDLC supports synchronous networks only while PPP supports both synchronous and asynchronous networks.
HDLC
HDLC - High level data link control used in conjunction with Networking protocols like PPP (point-to-point) protocol. According to RFC 1662, PPP uses HDLC like frame by providing address and control fields. For PPP these fields are constants 0xFF and 0x03.
Authentication
They cannot communicate.
1. Frame Relay 2. HDLC 3. PPP
there may be the issue with the layer 2 protocol like hdlc or ppp is not configured or wrongly configured if the interface is serial interface.
Which is the most common encapsulation in use on BRI Interface ? A. SDLC B. ATN C. HDLC D. PPP
The most common WAN data-link protocols are: 1. HDLC 2. PPP 3. Frame Relay 4. ATM
Data link layer protocols like PPP and HDLC define how data is encapsulated for transmission across a WAN link.
Serial interfaces do not pass any MAC information because the information is formed using WAN encapsulation (PPP. HDLC, Frame Relay).
