HDLC will not retransmit as there is only error detection in HDLC, but no
error correction.

I actually think it depends on what encapsulation
is running accross the serial link. If you're using
HDLC then it's a connection oriented, reliable
protocol... meaning if a packet is lost in transit
accross the serial link, the router will knw it when
it receives a response from the destination router.
It'll then resend the frame. If you're using a
datagram protocol, like ppp, however, it will rely on
the upper layer protocols to detect missing data..
