Byte-Stuffed Frame

Technical Details

Byte stuffing is a process where a special byte pattern is inserted into a data stream to mark the beginning and end of a frame. When these special bytes appear in the data itself, an escape byte is inserted before them to differentiate them from the frame markers.

Protocol Summary:

  1. Flag bytes mark the beginning and end of frames
  2. If a flag byte appears in the data, insert an escape byte before it
  3. If an escape byte appears in the data, insert another escape byte before it
