Understand Protocol Identification
The various methods and protocols used in X.25 SVC encapsulation
are identified in a specific field of the call packet; this field is defined
by X.25 to carry CUD. Since PVCs do not use the X.25 call setup pro-
cedures, only PVCs do not use CUD to identify their encapsulation.
The primary difference between the available AI2524 and IETF en-
capsulation methods is the specific value used to identify a protocol.
When any of the methods establishes a virtual circuit for carrying
single protocol, the protocol is identified in the call packet by the
CUD. When a virtual circuit is established to carry more than one pro-
tocol (only available using the RFC 1356 methodology), a protocol
identification field precedes the datagram encapsulated in the X.25
data packet; every datagram exchanged over that virtual circuit has its
protocol identified.
This table summarizes the values used in the CUD field to identify
protocols.
