Bit-Oriented Control Procedures for Computer-to-Computer Communications Systems

BIT-ORIENTED CONTROL PROCEDURES ARE A NEW GENERATION OF COMMUNICATION LINK CONTROL PROCEDURES WHICH HAVE EVOLVED DURING THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS. THESE NEW PROCEDURES OFFER MANY ADVANTAGES OVER CHARACTER-ORIENTED OR BASIC MODE CONTROL PROCEDURES WHICH ARE COMMONLY USED TODAY. BECAUSE OF THIS, IT IS EXPECTED THAT BIT-ORIENTED CONTROL PROCEDURES WILL EVENTUALLY REPLACE CHARACTER-ORIENTED PROCEDURES FOR MOST SYNCHRONOUS DIGITAL COMMUNICATIONS APPLICATIONS.
