    The EST-9600 supports RS-232 serial interface speeds up to 230 Kbps, RS-530 speeds up to 2048 Kbps. To deliver HDLC traffic via Ethernet in as close to the nature of HDLC as possible, the EST-9600 uses TCP/UDP “best-effort”, speedy delivery, rather than the delay and extra overhead that TCP/IP error-correction and flow control could cause.
