An SCLP channel is associated with every trunk in the network. In Promina networks SCLP is also used to transport IP Packets.

SCLP Task - All signaling and control information is transmitted between nodes on pre-defined trunk signaling channels called Signaling Channel Link Protocol (SCLP) channels. SCLP refers to the Layer 2 point-to-point protocol. An SCLP task exists for each trunk on a node to manage the Layer 2 protocol. This SCLP task also performs some Layer 3 routing functions.
