HDLC
High-Level Data Link Control (HDLC) started in the 1970s. IBM Synchronous Data Link Control (SDLC) was created in the mid-1970s for Systems Network Architecture (SNA). SDLC is a bit-oriented synchronous data-link protocol that the ISO modified into HDLC. The Consultative Committee for Telegraph and Telephone (CCITT), now the ITU-T, modified HDLC to create Link Access Procedure (LAP) and Link Access Procedure Balanced (LAPB) for X.25. IEEE modified HDLC, too, for its IEEE 802.2.
