Link Access Procedure (LAP) protocols are Data Link Layer protocols for framing and transmitting data across point-to-point links. LAP was originally derived from HDLC (High-Level Data Link Control), but was later updated and renamed LAPB (LAP Balanced).

LAPB is the data link protocol for X.25. Other related LAP protocols are :

  • MLP (Multilink Procedure)
  • LAPM (Link Access Procedure for Modems)
  • LAPD (Link Access Procedures, D channel)
  • LAPF (Link Access Procedure for Frame Relay)
