TCP or UDP ?

Just want to ask youy guys regarding the WAN Protocols, I'm wondering what type of L4PDU does HDLC, Frame Relay and ATM use. Is it TCP or UDP.

I am not sure what you are asking here. Those WAN protocols are Layer 2. They do not care about the layers above them. It is all encapsulated into a layer 2 frame and then thrown onto the wire as bits.

Encapsulation

Data Layer 7, 6, 5
Segment Layer 4
Packet Layer 3
Frame Layer 2
Bits Layer 1

Let me know if this doesn't answer your question.

Thanks actually I read I forgot what book if it's sybex or press that CDP uses UDP protocols or maybe I've already mixed all things in my mind like CDP is also a multicast. grrr..... See what happen guys if you read to much you.

crap I forgot my old pwd

CDP runs on all meadis that supports SNAP headers. Any LAN, HDLC, Frame Relay, and ATM interface. CDP is not dependant on any layer protocol higher than Data Link Layer. So in the case of CDP, TCP and UDP do not matter. Maybe this helps.

CDP can cross Frame Relay and ATM...so your right about that.
