Internet Protocol Device Control

For other uses, see IPDC.

Internet Protocol Device Control (IPDC) is a specification for controlling hardware devices, developed by Level 3 and a group of other telcos. Protocol was designed for communicating between centralized switches and IP-based gateways. It provides management and integration on a very large scale.

It should not be confused with DVB-IPDC which stands for IP datacasting (data broadcasting) over radio and television broadcasting networks such as DVB-H.
