Advanced Data Communication Control Procedures

In telecommunications, Advanced Data Communication Control Procedures (or Protocol) (ADCCP) is a bit-oriented data link layer protocol developed by the American National Standards Institute. It is functionally equivalent to the ISO High-Level Data Link Control (HDLC) protocol.[1]

Although the ISO and ANSI standards writers coordinated their work, so the differences between the standards are mainly editorial, there is one meaningful difference: ADCCP's definition of the basic subset required to implement balanced asynchronous mode includes the RSET frame, while HDLC makes it optional.[2]

One major difference between the two is the unnumbered (U) format. When extended (7-bit) sequence numbers are used, I and S frames have two-byte control fields. Like early versions of HDLC,[3] ADCCP specifies a 2-byte control field format with the P/F flag duplicated.[4] Later HDLC specifications, in particular ISO/IEC 13239, changed that to specify that U frames have 1-byte control fields in all cases.

ADCCP control fields
First byte Second byte Description
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
0 N(S) P/F N(R) I frame, N(S) is a 3-bit send sequence number
1 0 type P/F N(R) S frame, N(R) is a 3-bit receive sequence number
1 1 type P/F type U frame
0 N(S) P/F N(R) Extended I frame, N(S) is a 7-bit sequence number
1 0 type —0— P/F N(R) Extended S frame, N(R) is a 7-bit sequence number
1 1 type P/F type P/F —0— Extended U frame (ADCCP only)
