Frame Relay
Frame Relay is a Data Link layer protocol, comparable to
the Point-to-Point Protocol, or PPP. Unlike PPP, Frame Relay
is designed to support dedicated multipoint connections such
as might be used to interconnect all schools in a district
into a single wide area network.
Frame Relay offers a highly efficient use of resources. Instead
of a physical connection to the district office, each school
can use a Frame Relay Private Virtual Circuit, or PVC, to
create a virtual connection. Physically each school is connected
to their local Frame Relay provider using whatever connection
speed is appropriate to their needs: 56K DDS, Fractional T1
or full T1. The Frame Relay provider connects all of the schools
to the district office through the Frame Relay "cloud"
by defining private virtual circuits between each school and
the district office.
