Layer Two Control Protocols |
| L2SC |
A Layer 2 Switch Capable Interface, or L2SC interface, is an interface that can determine Layer 2 (L2) cell and frame boundaries, and forward data based on L2 header information, and is typical within interfaces of Asychronous Transfer Mode (ATM), Frame Relay and L2 Ethernet switches.

| Layer 2 Control Protocol Service Frame |
A Layer 2 Control Protocol Service Frame is a Service Frame that is used for Layer 2 control, e.g., Spanning Tree Protocol (STP). |
| Layer 2 Control Protocol Service Frame D |
Layer 2 Control Protocol Service Frame Delivery is the process by which a Layer 2 Control Protocol Service Frame is passed through the Service Provider network switches without being processed by those switches and delivered to the proper User Network Interfaces (UNI). |
| Layer 2 Control Protocol Tunneling |
Layer 2 Control Protocol Tunneling is the process by which a Layer 2 Control Protocol Service Frame is passed through the Service Provider network without being processed and delivered unchanged to the proper User Network Interface (UNI). |
