S1/1 interface is connected to MidEast.Refer the exhibit link.
uses HDLC which is cisco’s proprietary

Why not also S1/2 and S1/3 ? They also use default HDLC encapsulation

No Harjinder, if you see on command show run you’ll see that the S1/1 is not shown the encapsulation, so is the default encapsulation – HDLC

On the basis of the configuration on Dubai provided in the exhibit, we know that the encapsulation types of different interfaces are as follows:

Serial 1/0 : encapsulation frame-relay
Serial 1/2 and Serial 1/3 : both interfaces are encapsulated PPP
Serial 1/1: There is no related encapsulation information displayed, so its default encapsulation type is HDLC .

Based on the network topology provided in the exhibit, the interface Serial 1/1 is connected to the router Mideast of the branch office, so the encapsulation type of the router Mideast is by default.

The default encapsulation on a serial interface is HDLC. The original HDLC encapsulation was defined by the International Organization for Standards (ISO), those same folks who developed the OSI model. The ISO version of HDLC had one shortcoming, however; it had no options to support multiple Layer 3 routed protocols.
As a result, most vendors have created their own form of HDLC. Cisco is no exception because it has ts own proprietary form of HDLC to support various Layer 3 protocols such as IPX, IP, and AppleTalk
