The version <strong>of</strong> IP <strong>over</strong> SDH examined here uses PPP encapsulation <strong>and</strong><br />

HDLC framing. This is also known as POS or packet <strong>over</strong> SONET. PPP is a<br />

st<strong>and</strong>ardized way to encapsulate IP <strong>and</strong> other types <strong>of</strong> packets for transmission<br />

<strong>over</strong> many media from analog phone lines to SDH. It also includes functionality<br />

to set up <strong>and</strong> close links (LCP). HDLC is the International Organization for<br />

St<strong>and</strong>ardization (ISO)–st<strong>and</strong>ardized version <strong>of</strong> SDLC, a protocol developed by<br />

IBM in the 1970s. The HDLC framing contains delimiting flag sequences at<br />

the start <strong>and</strong> end <strong>of</strong> the frame <strong>and</strong> also has a CRC checksum field for error<br />

control.<br />

Simple data link (SDL) is a framing method proposed by Lucent Technologies,<br />

Inc., <strong>and</strong> can replace HDLC framing for PPP-encapsulated packets. Compared<br />

with the HDLC frame, the SDL frame has no delimiting flag sequences.<br />

Instead, the SDL frame is started with a packet-length field. This is advantageous<br />

at high bit rates where synchronization with the flag sequence is difficult.<br />

The SDL format can be inserted into an SDH payload for transmission <strong>over</strong><br />

WDM. The SDL format can also be encoded directly onto an optical carrier:<br />

SDL specifies the bare minimum functionality to be able to do this.
