Brian,
Thanks. Does that mean when configuring direct encapsulation over HDLC, the
pass-through option must be specified ? For FR, this parameter is optional.
For TCP, it has already been enabled and you can not change it by default!

Alec,
Frame Relay, HDLC, and SDLC do not provide reliable transport. In
the case that a packet is lost when sent across these encapsulations it is
the responsibility of the host to retransmit. For this reason the router
cannot guarantee to the host that the packet has gotten through (local
acknowledgement).
Local ack is only supported with TCP (reliable by nature) and Frame
Relay with an additional LLC2 header, which provides error checking and
retransmission.
