How can HDLC be defined as a synchronous protocol when later in the page there are asynchronous modes mentioned? Drumroll99 20:19, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
History
So was SDLC derived from HDLC (by removing the balanced modes), HDLC derived from SDLC (by adding the balanced modes), or were both derived from some third protocol? Guy Harris 10:48, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
- No, it was the other way around. The original SDLC was asymmetric and when it was taken into the US ANSI committee X3S3 it was extended to a symmetric mode as well.
- My question is how can you have a history section with no dates!? When did HDLC work start and when was the first version of the standard approved? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.34.102.194 (talk • contribs) 10:23, 3 June 2006 (UTC).
It is mentioned here that HDLC draft existed in Feb. 1973: https://www.rogerdmoore.ca/PS/CYCLB.html — Preceding unsigned comment added by Litvindev (talk • contribs) 22:46, 10 August 2019 (UTC)
Extra information?
Should the section on bit stuffing be reduced to a simple link to the bit stuffing page?
- Yeah, it should IMO. Right now, the information about bit stuffing is there twice in this article, and one description is even wrong. I'll probably get to it in the near future (if nobody disagrees, of course). --Kraymer (talk) 13:18, 18 March 2011 (UTC)
