High-Level Data Link Control (HDLC) is a framing protocol used to encapsulate other network protocols such SS7, ISDN, X.25, PPP and others.

An HDLC controller, essentially special-purpose circuitry on a motherboard, provides the ability to receive HDLC packets. For a full-duplex (FDX) SS7 link, 2 HDLC controllers are required.
