Data-Link Switching (DLSw) is a networking protocol that helps in the interconnection of different types of network protocols, specifically to facilitate the transmission of data over WAN (Wide Area Network) links. It was primarily developed to enable the encapsulation and transport of legacy protocols, such as IBM's SNA (Systems Network Architecture), over TCP/IP networks.
