In datagram mode, IP packets are encapsulated in AX.25
(UI frames) and transmitted without any other link level mechanisms,
such as connections or acknowledgments.
In vc (virtual circuit) mode, IP packets are encapsulated in AX.25
(I frames) and are acknowledged at the link level according to the
AX.25 protocol. Link level (i.e. AX.25) connections are opened as
necessary.
In both modes, ARP is used to map IP to AX.25 addresses.
I hope this info help you
