What does abm mean?

Asynchronous balance mode.

Chinese translation of ABM is an asynchronous balanced mode, which is divided into IP and multimedia, and it is a data communication mode using high-level data link control (HDLC). Asynchronous means that there is no common clock for data transmission between two stations, and balanced means peer-to-peer communication between the two stations, which eliminates the "imbalance" between the master station and the slave station at both ends of the data link.

ABM: Asynchronous Balanced Mode (ABM) is a communication mode of HDLC. The derivative protocol supports peer-to-peer communication between two stations, and any station can initiate this communication. A data communication mode controlled by high-level data link control (HDLC). Asynchronous means that there is no common clock for data transmission between two stations, and balanced means peer-to-peer communication between the two stations, which eliminates the "imbalance" between the master station and the slave station at both ends of the data link.

Characteristics of asynchronous balance mode

HDLC is a typical representative of bit-oriented data link control protocol, which does not depend on any character encoding set. Data messages can be transmitted transparently, and the "0-bit insertion method" used to realize transparent transmission is easy to realize in hardware; Full duplex communication with high data link transmission efficiency; All frames are checked by CRC, and the information frames are numbered in sequence, which can prevent omission or repetition and has high transmission reliability; The transmission control function is separated from the processing function, which has great flexibility.
