Hello,
I are about to activate an POS link between two M10, and one doubt
came out.
Which would the best in terms of overhead IP transport PPP or HDLC-cisco?

Thanks a lot
Ricardo.

They are the same. One difference is that PPP needs LCP to
come up -- this can be a pain, but does ensure that the same
L3 protocols are configured on both ends.
