X.25 Protocol

X.25 was developed by CCITT (now ITU-T) to provide standard connectionless network access protocols for layers 1-3 of the OSI model. It defines the interface between subscriber equipment and base stations, as well as between base stations and mobile switching centers. X.25 protocols are used in packet radio networks and fixed networks to provide a standardized interface for connectionless packet data transmission over generic networks.

25 Protocol

1) X.25 was developed by CCITT(now ITU-T) to provide standard connectionless


network access(packet switching) protocols for the three lowest layers(layer 1,2
and 3) of the open systems interconnection (OSI) model

2) The x.25 protocols provide a standard network interface between origintating


and terminating subscriber equipment (called data terminating equipment or
DTE), the base stations (called data circuit-terminating equipment or DCE) and
the MSC (called the data switching exchange or DSE).

3) The x.25 protocols are used in many packet radio air-interfaces, as well as in
fixed networks.

Fig. Shows the hierarchy of x.25 protocols in OSI model.

4) The layer-1 protocol delas with the electrical, mechanical, procedural and
functional interface between the subscriber(DTE) and the base-station(DCE).

5) The layer 2 protocol defines the data link on the common air-interface between
the subscriber and the base-station.
6) Layer 3 provides connection between the base station and the MSC, and is
called packet layer protocol. A packet assembler and disassembler(PAD) is used at
layer 3 to connect networks using the x.25 interface with devices that are not
equipped with a standard x.25 interface.

7) The x.25 protocol does not specify particular data rates or how packet switched
networks are implemented. Rather using x.25 provides a series of standard
functions and formats which give structure to the design of software that is used
to provide a packet data on a generic connectionless network.
