|
Link Access Procedure, Balanced (LAPB) is the data link layer (i.e.
|
||
|
|
the lower) part of the X.25 protocol. It offers a reliable
|
||
|
|
connection service to exchange data frames with one other host, and
|
||
|
|
it is used to transport higher level protocols (mostly X.25 Packet
|
||
|
|
Layer, the higher part of X.25, but others are possible as well).
|
||
|
|
Usually, LAPB is used with specialized X.21 network cards, but Linux
|
||
|
|
currently supports LAPB only over Ethernet connections. If you want
|
||
|
|
to use LAPB connections over Ethernet, say Y here and to "LAPB over
|
||
|
|
Ethernet driver" below. Read
|
||
|
|
<file:Documentation/networking/lapb-module.txt> for technical
|
||
|
|
details.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
|
||
|
|
module will be called lapb. If unsure, say N.
