• ADCCP (Advanced data communications control procedures) — A protocol developed by ANSI, and
later adopted by the National Bureau of Standards, the Federal Communications Standards Committee,
and the Defense Department. There are virtually no differences between HDLC and ADCCP.
See Table 1-4 for the names of some protocols that are commonly used at specific ISO layers.

AT&T PROTOCOLS
AT&T has created standard communications protocols of its own. In addition, it has adapted and renamed
other standards to more closely meet the needs of its networks and customers. Among the AT&T protocols
are:
• Digital multiplexed interface (DMI)
• Basic rate interface (BRI)
• Primary rate interface (PRI)
• Digital communications protocol (DCP)
