Everything about Synchronous Data Link Control
Computer communications protocol from IBM's Systems Network Architecture (SNA)
Synchronous Data Link Control (SDLC) is a computer serial communications protocol first introduced by IBM as part of its Systems Network Architecture (SNA). SDLC is used as layer 2, the data link layer, in the SNA protocol stack. It supports multipoint links as well as error correction. It also runs under the assumption that an SNA header is present after the SDLC header. SDLC was mainly used by IBM mainframe and midrange systems; however, implementations exist on many platforms from many vendors. In the United States and Canada, SDLC can be found in traffic control cabinets. SDLC was released in 1975, based on work done for IBM in the early 1970s. Wikipedia →
