What Does HDLC Stand For?

HDLC stands for High Level Data Link Control

HDLC, or High Level Data Link Control, is a bit-oriented synchronous data link layer protocol used for communication over point-to-point and multipoint links. It provides reliable data transmission through error detection and control mechanisms, enabling efficient data framing and the establishment, maintenance, and termination of connections. HDLC supports multiple bit-oriented modes and is widely utilized in telecommunications and computer networks for managing data flow and ensuring integrity during transmission.
