Layer 1 Connection Types
Leased Lines - PPP or dedicated connection
Circuit switching - Used with ISDN - for when customer doesn’t want dedicated, but needs a reliable connection
Packet switching - Virtual circuits are used to provide end to end connectivity. The network itself shares a single PPP link to transport packets from source to destination.
WAN Service Providers
CPE - Customer premises equipment - device at the subscribers location - end of responsibility for provider, start for customer
Demarcation (demarc) - the place where the CPE ends and the local loop portion of the service begins - can be found in he phone closet
Local loop - the cable from the demarc to the WAN providers central office (CO)
Central Office Switch - switching facility that is the nearest POP for the providers WAN
Toll network - The switches and facilities (trunks) inside the WAN providers cloud
Layer 2 Encapsulation Protocols
HDLC - High level data-Link Control - default communication method for Cisco routers of synch links, proprietary; came after SDLC modified into LAP And LAPB
Transfer modes
NRM - normal response mode
ARM - async Response Mode
ABM - async Balanced mode
LAPB - Link access procedure balanced : built into x.25
SDLC - Synchronous Data Link Control (SNA) PPP or multipoint; bound or unbound, circuit or packet setiched; primary and secondary node
DDR - dial on demand routing - static
PPP - point to point protocol
dial up or ISDN
PAP and CHAP
SLIP
X.25 / LAPB - PPP between DTE and DCE
DTE - data Terminal Equipment - router
DCE - data circuit terminating equip (modem CSU/DSU)
PSE - packet switching exchange
Full duplex protocol
Created SVC or PVC connections
PLP- Packet Layer Protocol
LAPB link access procedure Balanced
Make sure frames are error free and sequenced
I - information
S Supervisory
U unnumbered
Frame Relay - shared bandwidth
Can setup a CIR (committed information rate)
PVC’s are created at level 2
DLCI - used to identify virtual circuit equipment; assigned by provider then mapped
LMI used to determine the global significance of DLCI numbers
ATM

I am a Computer and Network Technician. I love what I do for a living, as my work is also my hobby.
All of the technical information from the original Aleeya.net site became this site - GirlGeekette dotNet - and the remaining became what is now known as Aleeya dotNet. This site is where I store all of my notes related to computers and Technology so I may share it with others.
