statistical multiplexing

line for transmission through a frame relay network. Interleaving of data is
accomplished using the DLCI.
switched network
The network of dial-up telephone lines using circuit switching to provide com-
munications services to network users.
synchronous
Communications in which the timing is achieved by sharing a single clock. Each
end of the transmission synchronizes itself with the use of clocks and informa-
tion sent along with the transmitted data.
synchronous data link control (SDLC)
A link-level communications protocol used in an international business
machines (IBM) systems Network Architecture (SNA) network that manages
synchronous, code-transparent, serial information transfer over a link connec-
tion. SDLC is a subset of the HDLC protocol developed by ISO.
