X.25 protocols
Nortel Networks supports X.25 protocols and services. Click on the following for a description:
Configuring X.25 Services
X.25 transports LAN traffic to packet-switching networks, usually over public data networks.
Because public data networks typically use error-prone analog lines, the X.25 protocol provides
extensive error checking, recovery, and packet sequencing. X.25 also allows many different kinds
of equipment to communicate across networks at a relatively low cost. This manual describes how
to configure X.25 services on a Nortel Networks router.

Configuring X.25 Gateway Services
X.25 Gateway enables you to send and receive messages between X.25 and TCP/IP networks. It
maps TCP sockets to X.25 virtual circuits (and vice versa) or to Link Access Procedure Balanced
(LAPB) point-to-point connection identifiers. The LAPB information field contains the X.25 data
packet. When an X.25 packet reaches the destination router, the LAPB protocol strips away the
LAPB frame and delivers the packet to the network layer for further processing. This manual
describes how to configure X.25 gateway services on a Nortel Networks router.
