Data link (L2) and Physical (L1) Levels
At the data link level (level 2), the X.25 link provides the LAP-B (Link
Access Procedure-Balanced) protocol. LAP-B is a data link protocol,
specified by the 1980 CCITT X.25 recommendations, that determines
frame exchange procedures.
At the physical level (level 1), the X.25 link provides support for X.21,
X.21bis, and V.35 interfaces (depending on your particular
communications hardware). These sets of recommendations define the
standards for X.25 at the physical level and apply specifically to
connections to a packet switching network. X.21bis (equivalent to V.24
and RS-232) is applicable to X.25 physical interfaces with transmission
speeds up to 64 kb/s. V.35, RS-449, X.21, and RS-530 supports
transmission speeds up to 2 Mb/s. Other standards may also be
supported as they become available.
