What is X.25?
X.25 is a packet-switching protocol standard for wide area networks. It defines how data is encapsulated, addressed, and transmitted between networks, typically using virtual circuits. It was commonly used in the 1970s and 1980s for connecting terminals and computers over long distances, before being largely replaced by more efficient protocols like Frame Relay and IP.
