?? what is LAPB doing then in X.25?
One of the features of X.25 is: It has extensive flow and error control at the data & the network layer. It's so extensive, this has become a deficit of the protocol.
Flow & error control at both layers create a large overhead and slows down transmissions in X.25 and caused it's gradual decline in popularity.
