'''Data-Link Switching''' ('''DLSw''') is a [[tunneling protocol]] designed to tunnel unroutable, non-IP based protocols such as IBM [[Systems Network Architecture]] (SNA) and [[NetBIOS Frames protocol|NBF]] over an IP network.
DLSw was initially documented in IETF RFC 1434 in 1993. In 1995 it was further documented in the IETF RFC 1795.
[[Cisco]] Systems has its own proprietary extensions to DLSw in DLSw+. According to Cisco, DLSw+ is 100% IETF RFC 1795 compliant but includes some proprietary extensions that can be used when both devices are Cisco.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/internetworking/technology/handbook/DLSw.html|title=Data-Link Switching (DLSw)|publisher=[[Cisco]]|accessdate=2008-09-15}}</ref>
