I have never heard of a performance boost by going with one or the other, PPP does support some things like quality monitoring and authentication that are useful in certain situations. One thing to be aware of is that some vendors only support PPP encapsulation, with others supporting both PPP and Cisco's HDLC. If one of the devices is not a Cisco, you would have to check the documentation to verify that they are able to support Cisco HDLC.
-----Original Message----- From: Stuart Pittwood [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 04, 2003 11:48 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: PPP vs HDLC [7:64362] It has been mooted to me that we might get better performance from our 1Mb line by using HDLC rather than PPP. Is this correct? If so is it just a case of changing the Encapsulation PPP to Encapsulation HDLC on both ends of the link? Are there any implications I should be aware of?
